Freight and Fuel Transportation Optimization Tool Technical Documentation: FTOT 2019.3 Public Release Version

Volpe created the Freight and Fuel Transportation Optimization Tool (FTOT) to support the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Energy (DOE), and the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research to assess optimal transport options for freight and fuel supply chains. FTOT is a flexible scenario-testing tool that optimizes the transportation of materials for future energy and freight scenarios. FTOT models and tracks commodity-specific information and can take into account conversion of raw materials to products (e.g., crude oil to jet fuel/diesel) and fulfillment of downstream demand. This report documents the components and functionality of the FTOT public release 2019.3.
