MULTIMODAL FREIGHT TRANSPORT NETWORK PLANNING

To handle the potential freight transport market within the archipelago like Indonesia will require a variety of transport modes. Seaport development should in the future be connected with its hinterland through an efficient road and rail links. As regional road and rail network is still under development in the region, when a port is being planned it is crucial to investigate its integration with the existing or planned land transport network. The advantage of one mode over the other should be taken into consideration when planning the national transport system. The objective of this paper is to report the progress of on going research on multi-modal freight transport network modeling. STAN, a regional strategic analysis and planning of freight transportation software, is verified and used to produce an overall estimation of the movements of freight of all products, by all of the modes available.
