Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to the whole concept of intermodal freight transport, the means of delivering goods using two or more transport modes, recounting both European experience and UK developments and reporting on the extensive political influences on this form of transport. This is placed into context with reference to developments in North America and Asia. Detailed explanations are given of the road and rail vehicles, the loading units and the transfer equipment used in such operations. In particular, the role of the Channel Tunnel in the development of long-haul combined transport operations between the UK and Europe is considered.

Download or read book Intermodal Freight Transportation written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed developments in intermodal freight transportation and its potential to relieve the nation's highways of some of the freight burden, focusing on: (1) the prospect of greater cooperation between the rail and trucking industries; and (2) challenges that the industries must overcome if the nation is to fully realize the potential benefits of intermodal freight transportation. GAO found that: (1) previous problems with cargo damage were significantly reduced by improved track and new types of intermodal railcars; (2) large truckload companies have recently seen advantages in using intermodal service, such as cost savings on long hauls, handling more volume with existing tractor and driver fleets, and reducing driver turnover; (3) truck traffic to and from intermodal terminals is adding to urban congestion in some major metropolitan areas; (4) intermodal service has had limited impact on highway traffic in the eastern United States because cities are close to each other; (5) the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Office of Intermodalism could play a useful role in helping industry and local government officials to agree on plans and funding to solve intermodal transportation problems in major urban areas; (6) The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) permits greater flexibility in using trust funds and emphasizes the need for intermodal planning in solving transportation problems; and (7) none of the ISTEA major funding sections specifically authorize the use of trust funds for intermodal freight facilities.

Book excerpt: To successfully compete with other countries in the global marketplace in this post-Interstate era, we much take steps now to develop the system that will move our goods and people efficiently into the next century. The NHS will provide the principal highway portion of this national transportation system as we enter the 21st century. It will be the major focus of Federal highway investment for the future and is expected to carry the bulk of Interstate and interregional travel and commerce. The system will also be the essential link among the modes and facilities that make up the total transportation network that spans the continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 required states to develop and implement 6 systems for managing highway pavement, bridges, highway safety, traffic congestion, public transportation facilities and equipment, and intermodal transportation facilities and systems. In 1995, the National Highway System Designation Act made the systems optional. This report identifies: the status of the states' development and implementation of the transportation management systems; how the states expect to use the systems; and the factors that have facilitated or hindered the development and implementation of the systems.

Download or read book The Freight Story written by Harry Caldwell and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although efforts to improve freight transportation efficiency and reliability have been successful, the U.S. transportation system is now facing challenges that, unless addressed, may jeopardize its reliability. Allowing transportation system reliability to erode would add additional pressure to U.S. companies operating in an increasingly competitive international market and place more burdens on communities seeking to sustain their economic base and quality of life. Improved logistics has thus far been able to address the corrosive effects of the loss of system reliability. Unfortunately, the ability of logistics to provide additional offsetting savings appears to be nearing its limit, as are the savings attributable to deregulation. Unless these challenges are addressed, more discretionary income will be devoted to moving materials and products, businesses will be constrained in their adoption of innovative strategies to maintain global competitiveness, quality of life-as measured by congestion-will suffer, and safety and security could be jeopardized.
