Title: INTERMODAL FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION
Accession Number: 00783630
Record Type: Component
Abstract: The 21st century will see a renewed focus on intermodal freight transportation driven by the changing requirements of global supply chains. Each of the transportation modes (air, inland water, ocean, pipeline, rail, and road) has gone through technological evolution and has functioned separately under a modally based regulatory structure for most of the 20th century. With the development of containerization in the mid-1900s, the reorientation toward deregulation near the end of the century, and a new focus on logistics and global supply chain requirements, the stage is set for continued intermodal transportation growth. This paper discusses the status and growth of intermodalism.
