This report focuses on the development of a model for the improvement of intermodal rail-truck systems. The model is intended to be used in a manner that integrates the operation of all elements of the intermodal service, from initial sales contact and movement planning to final delivery, thereby enabling the intermodal system to offer precisely scheduled and competitively priced quality service. Variations of the model enable longer term decisions to be addressed, such as fleet expansion and composition. The system to be improved includes both the rail network and the drayage operations in the service regions under investigation. The model of intermodal rail-truck service is composed of a set of different scenarios which encompass the various issues arising in operations planning, investment analysis, and level of service-price positioning for competitive considerations with respect to other transportation modes. In the arena of operations planning, the model solves the scheduling and routing problems for a series of intermodal shipments through a rail-truck intermodal network in the short, medium, and long run time frames.
