Securing the Homeland
preventing terrorists, human trafficking, and drug smuggling from crossing your border
while delivering transformational freight infrastructure for the world's busiest ports
What is the Intelligent Freight Transportation System?
Protecting, safeguarding, and defending the homeland is the mission of Green Corridors.
The Intelligent Freight Transportation System ("IFTS") significantly enhances border security while eliminating wait times for cross-border freight. The system scans 100% of freight entering the country and facilitates faster inspection times, while seamlessly integrating with US Customs and Border Protection protocols.
Green Corridors is revolutionizing freight transportation with its proprietary, fully autonomous IFTS. The system relieves traffic congestion by moving freight off the road and onto elevated guideways connected to secure terminals, resulting in substantially increased security, efficiency, road safety & air quality.
Green Corridors offers the logistics industry innovative freight transportation services by moving semi-truck trailers and sea containers across international borders, between a seaport and an inland terminal or through key trade corridors. Designed for today’s transportation providers, port authority and terminal operators, logistics companies will book freight directly on Green Corridors’ innovative system on behalf of their customers.
Green Corridors’ suite of technology – including automated inland terminals, autonomous freight shuttles and elevated guideway infrastructure – drives economic growth, enables industrial development and generates job opportunities. Inland terminals will serve as hubs for commerce and logistics services, promoting sustainable development and supporting the economic vitality of surrounding communities.
Our Concept
Secure, cutting-edge infrastructure and technology bypasses traffic congestion by implementing state-of-the-art, impenetrable shuttles traveling on elevated guideways.
We’re ushering in a transformation
in freight transportation
Bypassing gridlock
By elevating above intersections, people, and traffic, we avoid the congestion below and allow freight to move freely. Our approach bypasses the gridlock, avoids delays, and thus improves efficiency.
Optimized operations
Our simplistic approach involves re-routing freight traffic and employing intelligent fleets of autonomous shuttles and fully-automated inland terminals to enable faster connections and more effective use of current infrastructure.
Cleaner routes
Our autonomous constantly moving, energy-efficient, low-emission shuttles replace idling trucks. We improve air quality and create a sustainable freight system for future generations.
