The container prediction program is a prototype data base application that assists intermodal railroad terminal managers in forecasting daily container volumes for ship to rail transfers. The program runs under Foxpro 2.5 for Windows. It is designed specifically for common user terminals where containers arriving from several steamship lines are intermingled and placed on trains for several destinations. The program will facilitate necessary forecasting for Double Stack Planner, a decision support system loading containers onto double stack rail cars (Pacanovsky 1994, Rolle 1994, Spurgeon 1994). The container arrival predictions will assist in: personnel and equipment planning at the terminals; ordering rail cars; planning the number of train movements for each destination; and and motive power planning.
