The second section provides a brief overview and evaluation of existing intermodal transportation data sources and their applications to intermodal freight planning. Information is provided about freight databases that are sponsored by various government and private agencies. This includes types of data, scope, coverage, and collection methods. This information provides a summary of existing data collection programs and indicates some of the ways the data may be used for identifying operational and technical improvements that will facilitate intermodal freight transportation.
