摘要：	Freight transportation is both multimodal and intermodal in nature, involving highways, railways, waterways, air transportation, terminals, and intermodal transfers. Multimodal and intermodal orientation holds major promise in significantly improving freight transportation efficiency. The project developed the Florida Multimodal Network (FMN), an integrated multimodal network for Florida that combines airway linkages, highways, railways, waterways, and intermodal facilities. The project also developed an impedance function based on both time and cost to characterize mode preferences and a multimodal and intermodal routing procedure. This was done to establish multimodal freight flow patterns on the FMN utilizing the commodity flow O-D data from the 2003 TRANSEARCH database. The results are compared to the observed highway truck VMT data. Recommendations for future research include the development of better cost functions, consideration of congestion effects, refinement of O-D flow data, improvement in freight cost and delay data, and incorporation of the capacity of intermodal facilities. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Florida International Univ., Miami.
