Book Description
An intermodal container is an article of transport equipment that meets International Standards Organization (ISO) standards. Containers are designed to facilitate and optimize the carriage of goods by one or more modes of transportation (highway, rail, sea, etc.) without intermediate handling of the contents. They are equipped with special features permitting ready handling and transfer from one mode to another. This capability demands standardization for ease of handling. The goal is to make effective use of the large, fast commercial intermodal transportation system available 011 a day-to-day basis that provides a rapid, continuous flow of cargo from shipper to receiver in support of Department of Defense (DOD) and national security objectives.

Book Description
. . . the book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners. Competition and Regulation in Network Industries The book is well balanced. . . The authors depict the reality of this complex world and identify the right strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Bart Jourquin, European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research . . . the editors and the expert contributors provide a timely overview of the present role and challenges of intermodal freight transport. . . the book will not only be appealing to academics and researchers with an interest in the emerging field of intermodal transport research. As the book is largely kept at an executive and policy level, it is also appealing to practitioners and policy makers. . . the book is a valuable contribution to the study of intermodal freight transport as a new transportation research application field. It is an essential reading for all stakeholders in the field of intermodal freight transportation, providing them with insight and tools to address the mounting academic and practical challenges in this segment of the transport and logistics market. Theo Notteboom, Journal of Transport Geography This book explores the great challenge of increasing the scope of intermodal freight transport. In view of the current dominant role of road transport and the increasing difficulties in coping with a growing number of vehicles in an efficient and sustainable way, intermodal freight transport could be considered a viable alternative. However, the book makes recognition of the fact that there is still a need to improve the performance of the intermodal transport system. The expert contributors provide an overview of the present role of intermodal freight transport, address opportunities to significantly improve current performance, and demonstrate design and modelling tools used to analyse and support this performance. Requirements for the implementation of intermodal innovations are also prescribed, and policies needed to improve competitiveness are outlined. Many factors contributing to the performance and competitiveness of intermodal freight transport are explored, from technological and organisational innovations through to institutional settings and policy frameworks. This comprehensive range of topics will attract a broad audience including academics, researchers, policymakers and practitioners involved in the design and development of freight transport systems. It will also strongly appeal to those with an interest in the future of freight transport.

Book Description
This study addressed one of the factors which affect the use of intermodal containers for air cargo shipments; the relationship between the size and quantity of the air cargo to be shipped and the size of the intermodal container. The cargo data used in the study was extracted from records of air shipments from Dover AFB, Delaware to Rhein Main and Ramstein AFBs for the third quarter of FY 1974. The container used in the study was a proposed 8 ft. x 8 ft. x 5 ft. intermodal QUADCON container. The overseas transportation network used in the study consisted of one CONUS APOE, one overseas APOD, and nine cargo break-bulk point destinations. Several computer programs and a GE 600 series computer were used to manipulate the cargo data.
