Abstract:Natural disasters impact society on a broad level, often leading to both financial damage and the loss of human life. This project seeks to improve the design and operation of disaster relief chains by providing agencies with an intermodal transportation decision making and training tool, focusing on the use of air, rail, and trucks in providing aid (cargo and personnel) following a disaster. Building upon knowledge gained from a previous NCIT project regarding factors that impact choice of transportation modes in disaster relief, the product of the current project is an intermodal transportation training program for disaster relief agencies. The program, viewed as a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow, allows users to investigate the benefits of intermodal transportation, allowing trainees to make informed transportation decision in disaster relief agencies.
