| Abstract | This report describes the results of an initial study to assess the technological and operational constraints on the development of a multimodal domestic freight container system. Under this program, the critical technological and operating constraints were identified, and the impact on shippers and operators was assessed. Key current investments in the freight transportation system were developed to evaluate the obsolescence of these investments due to the introduction of containers over a period of time. Also described are areas where further research is required to overcome the critical constraints identified during the study. |
