| 摘要： | In the current literature and practice, no systemic and user-oriented performance measures are available to evaluate intermodal transportation and facilitate mode-choice decision-making. Most existing transportation measures are defined for one specific mode and are not consistent with each other. This research establishes a systematic and user-oriented performance measurement system for intermodal transportation. Five major categories of performance measures are identified: mobility and reliability, safety, environmental impact, long term transportation cost efficiency, and economic impact. For each category, several quantitative measures are given to capture the features of the system, and evaluate how well transportation systems can meet the needs of their users. The term 'users' refers to investors (including government agents and stakeholders, individuals, industries, and the society or the public). The proposed performance measures have two distinguishing features from the literature and current practice: Using geographic distance rather than travel distance as mileage and defining mobility as total travel time over required mileages rather than average speed. The proposed measures are scalable so that they can be used to compare transportation systems of different sizes. |
