Component

Abstract:

This research develops criteria that can be used to evaluate the capabilities and sustainability of inland multimodal freight hubs. It addresses the need for a more efficient freight distribution system to combat supply chain deficiencies and explores the important role that inland freight hubs play in improving the livability and economic vitality of a region. The research develops a comprehensive approach to hub development decisions for multi-criteria decision analysis. Data gathered from subject-matter experts is used to determine the relevant qualitative and quantitative criteria needed to evaluate the sustainability of inland freight hubs. Decision makers can use the findings presented to assess inland hub locations more effectively.
