Title: CONCEPT DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A LINEAR INTERMODAL FREIGHT SYSTEM
Accession Number: 00382943
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A conceptual linear corridor intermodal freight system was analyzed by using the computer model LINET. The train operating strategy used--freightliner--it an idealized form of a typical railroad strategy for a corridor. The problem formulation for this generic linear corridor freight system is described, and the LINET computer simulation model and the cost equations used to quantify the various trade-offs and relations between fundamental system design parameters as they affect costs and performance are presented. The results of these analyses include trade-offs associated with the most cost-effective system design, feasible system designs with sufficient capacity, minimum-cost system designs, and design for a specified level of service.
