The interest in multimodal transportation improvements in urban areas is increasing in cities across the U.S. Improved access to multimodal transportation attracts new users, but can possibly increase their exposure to risk from crashes, particularly in areas where the ‘‘safety in numbers” phenomenon does not exist. The relationship between access to multimodal transportation and safety in urba...

Using data from OpenStreetMap and information about the public transportation the tool “osmPti2mmds” presented in this paper creates datasets that can be used to carry out multimodal analyses. As part of this process GTFS or VDV452 archive files are linked to data from OpenStreetMap in such a way that multimodal routing and reachability analyses are possible. By using this combined information ...

This paper covers some of the main aspects of multimodal transportation design (fundamental elements, topology and some existing approaches) before introducing the numerous and various challenges it poses, as a system of systems: legal and business aspects, demand prediction and multimodal planning and supervision. As an illustration, it then highlights some challenges specific to carsharing su...

The recent US Commodity Flow Survey data suggest that transporting hazardous materials (HAZMAT) often involves multiple modes, especially for long-distance transportation. However, not much research has been conducted on HAZMAT location and routing on a multimodal transportation network. Most existing HAZMAT location and routing studies focus exclusively on single mode (either highways or railw...

Purpose: Multimodal freight transport developed in the transportation sector as an alternative to unimodal transport faced with the challenges brought by the growing global demand for transporting goods. Multimodal transport is the transportation of goods using at least two modes of transport, usually door-to-door. The common transport modes include railways, maritime routes, and the roads. Whe...

The goal is to review the current problems and tasks of organizing multimodal freight transportation in Ukraine analyze trends related use transport complex (TC). Methodology. Using a system analysis, methods for assessing existing are proposed, as well proper definition environmental issues most important creation functioning TC presented. At same time, energy redistribution processes taken in...

This paper presents a system proposing a solution to the problem of Origin-Destination (OD) trip modelling for Multimodal Transportation Networks (MTN) using GIS tools. An efficient method for the handling of travel information within the MTN consists of dealing with an optimal multimodal routing of travellers from a point of origin to point of destination. Furthermore, the multimodal travellin...
