COMPUTER ASSISTED COST ASSESSMENT OF INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION LINKAGES, USERS MANUAL

This document is a users manual for the developed computer-assisted Cost Assessment of Intermodal Transportation Linkages (CAITL) software. The software enables the user to determine the most effective transportation mode between a given origin and destination. This manual guides the user through the installation and use of the software. An appendix presents three examples to illustrate how the software can be used to analyze multimodal transportation: truck-rail-truck, truck-air-truck, and barge-truck transportation.
