Abstract:This report presents a formal definition for inland ports and creates a classification methodology to promote familiarity with inland port operations and aid transportation planners interested in supporting inland port operations. Inland ports are sites away from traditional borders where international trade is processed and value-added services are provided. As the private sector becomes more focused on globalization and efficient supply chains, inland ports may become more important. Transportation planners need to recognize that inland ports may also promote more efficient multi-modal corridors. The classification methodology builds on the management product life cycle concept to create an inland port development life cycle. The stages of the development life cycle can assist planners in understanding what actions can be taken to best promote positive transportation impacts by inland ports.
