Evaluating Freight Intermodal Connectors (FICS) in Tennessee

项目名称：	Evaluating Freight Intermodal Connectors (FICS) in Tennessee
摘要：	Intermodal connectors are public, short mile road or rail track that connect intermodal terminals to national highway systems (NHS) mainline routes (primarily interstates and arterials). This project will evaluate Freight Intermodal Connectors (FICs) in Tennessee to identify deficiencies related to congestion, capacity, safety, and supply chain demand needs. The study will focus on �roadway connectors� that is; segments, corridors and intersections that connect Tennessee freight trucks to/from the major freeways from/to high‐priority facilities such as truck hubs, airport terminals, freight rail terminals, passenger rail and intercity bus terminals, waterways, warehouses, depots, centers, etc. For efficient intermodal freight movement, these roadway connectors must be in a desired service conditions (operational, safety, and environmental) capable of accommodating truck and freight needs. The study will perform a multimodal inventory check and evaluate some of critical freight connectors in Tennessee by identifying improvement needs with respect to: access and connectivity, capacity, safety, supply chain and environmental impacts. The study will provide technical analysis and summary of freight related deficiencies that exist along roadway connectors connecting freight especially trucks to known warehouses, depots, hubs and terminals.
