With a demonstrated 99.8% reliability this nationwide 24-hour per day tracking system combines satellite and ground-based communications to monitor the progress of DOE truck, rail, barge, and ocean vessel shipments in near real time. TRANSCOM2000 has been used to monitor over 7,500 DOE high visibility shipments since its deployment in September 2001. The TRANSCOM2000 system is administered by the DOE Office of Environmental Management. The TRANSCOM2000 Communications Center is located in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
