REAL-TIME INDICATOR OF GLOBAL TRADE
First Claim
1. A method, performed by a computing system, for generating a real-time indicator of global trade, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the computing system, one or more capacity metrics representing freight capacity for a first type of freight during a first time period;
receiving, by the computing system, one or more volume metrics representing freight volume for the first type of freight during the first time period;
generating, by the computing system, a first capacity component based on the one or more capacity metrics;
generating, by the computing system, a first volume component based on the one or more volume metrics;
combining, by the computing system, the first capacity component and the first volume component to generate the real-time indicator of global trade; and
transmitting, by the computing system, the real-time indicator of global trade to another computing system.

Abstract
A real-time indicator of global trade can be generated. The real-time indicator provides a comprehensive indicator of the current global economic state by tracking current values for the available capacity for freight shipments as well as the volume of actual shipments. The capacity and volume can be tracked over multiple different transportation modes including sea, air, and rail. The real-time indicator is generated in real-time based on these current values. The real-time indicator can therefore provide investors, analysts, researchers, bankers, and the like with a reliable indicator of the current global economic state that is not heavily influenced by the biasing sentiments of individuals.
