For 26-OS2, may Phase I focus on a U.S. port-linked intermodal freight corridor using maritime data and AIS/port/canal indicators?
Clarifying whether port-linked maritime freight flows are within scope when connected to a U.S. freight corridor. No proprietary data or proposal details are included.

Port-linked maritime freight flows connected to a U.S. freight corridor are within the scope of the FCPI project. This project acknowledges that the public infrastructure critical to freight carriers includes "maritime ports" in addition to highways, bridges, and interchanges. Integrating port-linked flows directly aligns with the project's overarching objective to develop an AI-enabled system that fuses "multimodal data sources" to forecast supply chain disruptions and freight bottlenecks. Phase II specifies that field pilots for awarded projects be conducted along 2–3 representative freight corridors that encompass "urban, rural, and intermodal" environments.
