Tech Is Key to Addressing Increasing Freight Volume
Quarterhill emphasized how the new systems will help Arkansas “address increasing freight volume,” and will directly support “ARDOT’s broader mission to deliver safer, smarter, and more sustainable transportation infrastructure.”
“Partnering with Quarterhill allows us to bring cutting-edge tools to two of Arkansas’ most important freight gateways. These upgrades will strengthen enforcement, improve roadway safety, and keep goods moving efficiently across our state and beyond. This initiative is a win for our economy, drivers, and communities.”
– Jeff Holmes, Chief of Arkansas Highway Police
Similar systems could soon be deployed in other states where freight volume is climbing. In fact, in our Moving Goods With Fewer Hands logistics report, 63% of the logistics professionals we spoke to reported an increase in demand over the past year.
Similarly, as the trucking profession continues to be one of the most dangerous in the US, modernized systems powered by AI could improve safety and thus draw more individuals to the industry workforce, in the long run.
