Abstract:The focus of this multiuniversity collaborative project is to increase the efficiency and reliability of freight operations at intermodal transfer terminals. In addition, Hyeon-Shic Shin, Ph.D. (MSU), analyzes freight stakeholders' preferences for various policy alternatives on managing the last mile of goods delivery in congested urban areas. Qingbin Cui , Ph.D. (UMD), and Shane Underwood, Ph.D. (ASU), are both analyzing critical issues with regard to the provision and maintenance of the freight transportation infrastructure. Dr. Cui has created an analysis framework for delivering freight transportation infrastructure through Public Private Partnerships (P3), and compared the P3 approach to traditional project delivery methods. Results from his analysis will provide direct policy recommendations on the use of P3 investment for all modes of transportation, including freight. Dr. Underwood evaluates the impacts of freight travel trends, demand, loads, and composition on pavement infrastructure.
