The economic advantages of cargo containerization are such that incomplete use of the container internal volume for source-to-user shipments is practicable. From this basic hypothesis, a decision criterion is developed for selecting cargo transportation containers or families of containers which best satisfy the various system cargo transportation characteristics. The methodology uses a computer simulation model to economically compare alternative containers when consideration is given to the specific container type, the network travel paths, destination cargo item characteristics, and the destination demand differences.
