Next Frontier for Intermodal Growth:

Trucks-Trains-Terminals

AIM is the premier company creating an autonomous intermodal system that will provide the most reliable, safe, and secure mode of land freight transportation at every step for the movement of containers and trailers. Founder, Jim Wilson has 48 years of railroad experience in operations planning and execution, terminal operations, technology design, and rolling stock development. 

The vision for Autonomous Intermodal, LLC is to develop the land intermodal logistics system of the future.  AIM is focused on:

• Next level of safety in all new equipment, operations, and technology.

• New equipment to move containers and trailers.

• New traction equipment to move integral trains of containers and trailers.

• New equipment for yard/dray tractors, chassis, and trailers.

• New autonomous methods for railroad and terminal operations.

• New technology applications for autonomous operations, customer interface, component health, safety, and security monitoring.

The next generation of rail intermodal equipment and technology for railroads and their customers has to deliver the following:

• Consistent truck competitive service for customers.

• Reliable rail equipment for railroad train and terminal operations.

• Faster container/trailer train turn times in ports and terminals.

• Autonomous terminal/drayage/road trucks for first-middle-last mile assignments making roads safer, reducing accidents, delays, and costs for intermodal companies.

• Equipment designs will drastically reduce theft on trains and trucks reducing costs for operators and their customers.

• Technology to provide command and control execution information.

• Technology interfaces and data sorting to meet customer logistics information requirements.

AIM will take advantage of rail intermodal being 3 to 4 times more fuel efficient than trucks and reduce fuel consumption. AIM products will also improve capacity at terminal facilities by turning equipment faster with autonomous tractors for in terminal/port and first/last mile movements between shippers and receivers in urban and suburban areas.
