Toledo-Lucas County Port - Intermodal Terminal Functionality
Subsystem Description
The 'Intermodal Terminal' represents the terminal areas corresponding to modal change points. This includes interfaces between roadway freight transportation and air, rail, and/or water shipping modes. The basic unit of cargo handled by the Intermodal Terminal physical object is the container; less–than–container load handling is typically handled at a different facility (i.e., Freight Consolidation Station). The Intermodal Terminal can include electronic gate control for entrance and exit from the facility, automated guidance of vehicles within the facility, alerting appropriate parties of container arrivals and departures, and inventory and location of temporarily stored containers.
Functional Object: Terminal Data Collection
'Terminal Data Collection' collects and stores information that is collected in the course of intermodal terminal operations. This data can be used directly by operations personnel or it can be made available to other data users and archives in the region.
