Intermodal terminal with various means of transportation dwg
There are three major types of intermodal terminals, each having its own locational and equipment requirements:
Port terminals. They are the most substantial intermodal terminals in terms of traffic, footprint, and capital requirements. A gateway (container terminal) provides an interface between the maritime and inland systems of circulation.
Rail terminals. For inland intermodal chains, rail terminals are linked with port terminals. The fundamental difference between an on-dock and a near-dock rail facility is not necessary the distance from the terminal facilities, but terminal clearance. While for an on-dock rail terminal, containers can be moved directly from the dock (or the storage areas) to a railcar using the terminal’s own equipment, accessing a near-dock facility requires clearing the terminal’s gate, using the local road system, and clearing the gate of the near-dock rail terminal. These can be prone to congestion and delays.
Distribution centers. Represent a distinct category of intermodal terminals performing an array of value-added functions, with transmodal operations dominantly supported by trucking. Distribution centers can perform three major functions.
