Welcome to IREIAT’s documentation!

1. Expected flows on the US intermodal freight network given demand, intermodal costs (both direct financial and other costs), and network capacities

2. How cost, transit time, disruptions/resilience, and GHG emissions affect freight flows across the current and future intermodal network
