The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Volpe are poised to launch a new environmental analysis tool that will offer a robust, integrated way to quantify the environmental impact of aviation—from a single flight up to full-scale global impacts.
In the early 2000s, Volpe implemented a vessel communications and tracking network for the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The network, based on the automatic identification system, promises improved safety, security, and efficiency throughout the Seaway.
Ninety years ago, the United States built the Panama Canal by combining innovative engineering strategies with state-of-the-art technology. Now the time has come to create a modern navigation system for the canal, and this time Volpe is providing the know-how.
