Making Rail-Truck Intermodal Competitive
| 项目名称： | Making Rail-Truck Intermodal Competitive |
| 摘要： | This research project will develop, explore, and analyze various strategies for increasing the market share of truck-rail intermodal, especially in: 1) shipment distance below 600 miles, and/or 2) selected markets defined by commodity groups and O-D pairs. Identifying the markets in which rail-truck intermodal is successfully competing may illustrate characteristics that can be exploited in order to shift more freight shipments from the highway network onto rail thereby reducing congestion and environmental impacts. This project strives to identify trends and market niches for truck-rail intermodal by examining the relationship between the characteristics of commodities and market segments that include: origin-destination, shipping distance, and value. |
