This project addresses the problem and Arkansas's and other states' underutilized and waterway transportation networks. The underutilization of waterway transportation in the U.S. partially stems from a lack of understanding by shippers of the cost and time trade-offs associated with utilizing waterway transportation. There exists a need for easy to use and widely available models that can illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of barge transportation within the context of an intermodal transportation network. This project enhances prior MTBC research on intermodal transportation by enhancing intermodal shortest route models and demonstrating the models via a user-friendly, web-based application. An understanding of the intermodal decision process was developed through an interaction with companies in and around the State of Arkansas.
