Route/Modal choice analysis and tradeoffs evaluation of the intermodal transport network of Peninsular Malaysia

In Malaysia, containerized freight transport has been growing and is expected to continue in that trend in the future. This research aims to provide a model for the assessment of containerized freight movement through intermodal transport network of Peninsular Malaysia. To design such a model, ArcMa...
