This book provides an introduction to the whole concept of intermodal freight transport, the means of delivering goods using two or more transport modes, recounting both European experience and UK developments and reporting on the extensive political influences on this form of transport. This is placed into context with reference to developments in North America and Asia. Detailed explanations are given of the road and rail vehicles, the loading units and the transfer equipment used in such operations. In particular, the role of the Channel Tunnel in the development of long-haul combined transport operations between the UK and Europe is considered.

Intermodal Freight Transportation conceptualizes intermodal transport as a set of physical, logical, financial and contractual flows, examining the barriers that impact intermodal freight services and the resulting performance variables. The book covers transport modes, agents, supply and demand patterns, key drivers, trends influencing the freight transportation sector, the evolution of supply and logistics chains, and the impacts of technological advancements, such as autonomous vehicles and e-commerce. In addition, the book covers transport agents, such as shippers, freight forwarders, integrators, and customs, as well as the demand for freight transport services and the key properties of goods. Readers will find a variety of new tools for analyzing and building effective transport chains that addresses component technology, information, responsibility, and financing dimension, along with sections on key organizational, regulatory, infrastructure and technological barriers. The book concludes with a look into the future of the freight transport sector. Presents a step-by-step approach that introduces key topics for understanding efficient intermodal transportation Focuses on the concept of fitness between the modes of transport profiles Contains numerous, real-world case studies throughout Examines performance metrics

The major objectives of this report are to develop a benefit-cost methodology for the evaluation of intermodal projects in statewide transportation planning and to examine an institutional framework conducive to cost sharing by different modal-specific programs in the State Departments of Transportation (DOTs). In order to find an appropriate institutional framework for intermodal planning, a compendium of current best practices adopted by various states is included. Evidently, better coordination and cooperation among modal-specific programs seems to be the preferred institutional framework for implementation of intermodal transportation projects. The major tenet of the study is that in the development of an intermodal project evaluation methodology for the freight sector, public agencies must necessarily incorporate the significant differences in social costs among modes. This study examines various theoretical and empirical issues involved in estimating social costs and benefits of intermodal projects combining various modal options.

The study was prepared under contract to the Federal Highway Administration Office of Freight Management and Operations for the purpose of helping to frame discussions for future federal program initiatives designed to promote freight productivity and safety. Current and past mechanisms are identified for funding and financing freight infrastructure development. Freight infrastructure is defined as port facilities, highways, bridges, highway access to ports/airports, cargo-handling facilities/equipment, warehouse construction, rail lines and rail spurs, and channel and berth dredging. A subset of freight infrastructure, intermodal infrastructure, is defined as the points of connection where freight is transferred between different modes, such as trucks, ships, rail, and airplanes.

Intermodality is so broad that it is difficult to encompass all of its aspects in a single volume of reasonable size. Consequently, the author has attempted to touch briefly on as mnay aspects as possible, but has placed greatest emphasis on land-sea and air-surface cargo transfers. Intermodality can be observed from viewpoints of mode, type of cargo, condition of cargo, category of terminal, or combinations and permutations of these viewpoints. Each offers a different perspective to make up the total evolving picture. In this book, the author presents not just a statement of the status quo and views of the changing nature of intermodality. This has required some degree of repetition and cross-referencing when, for example, similar functions are presented in connection with different modes. The purpose is to try to make this volume useful as a reference, as well as an overview.

While the operational realities of intermodal transport are relatively well known, the institutional challenges are less well understood. This book provides an overview of intermodal transport and logistics including the policy background, emerging industry trends and academic approaches. Establishing the three key features of intermodal transport geography as intermodal terminals, inland logistics and hinterland corridors, Jason Monios takes an institutional approach to understanding the difficulties of successful intermodal transport and logistics. Key areas of investigation include the policy and planning background, the roles of public and private stakeholders and the identification of emerging strategy conflicts. Substantial empirical content situates the theoretical and practical issues in real-world examples via three detailed case study chapters (covering the USA, UK and Europe), making the book useful to students as well as practitioners desiring an understanding of how intermodal transport and logistics work in practice. The identified challenges to intermodal transport and logistics are used to demonstrate how competing port and inland strategies can inhibit the necessary processes of integration required to underpin successful intermodal transport. The book concludes with a look at the future of institutional adaptation that may enhance the capacity of freight actors to engage with intermodal transport developments.

A method for rating the intermodal freight terminals as candidates for government funded access improvements is proposed in this report. This report presents an overview of the intermodal freight transportation industry. Then government intermodal freight planning and participation including examples of government sponsored intermodal projects are presented. An intermodal freight planning procedure is then proposed. A terminal capacity analysis is performed as required for a terminal prioritization process. Finally, three prioritization strategies are proposed and illustrated using data collected from Texas. The system is designed to rank priority by facility for a given network, utilizing facility operational and physical attributes.

This book undertakes a study of the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) and a comparison with the Appalachian region. The eight-county San Joaquin Valley, part of California's Central Valley, is home to 5 of the 10 most agriculturally productive counties in the United States. By a wide range of indicators, the SJV is also one of the most economically depressed regions of the United States. This book analyses the SJV's counties and statistically documents the basis of current socio-economic conditions. The book further explores the extent to which the SJV shares similarities with and differs from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) area and a 68-county Central Appalachian sub-region which contains some of the most economically distressed counties in Appalachia. The book also examines the role of federal expenditures in the cities and counties of the SJV. In addition to examining socio-economic conditions in the SJV, the book provides analysis of water supply and quality issues especially those concerning agriculture, air quality concerns, and rail and shipping issues. It is fully indexed.
