This paper proposes a scenario-based mixed-integer dynamic capacitated intermodal facility location model (IFLM) for determining the optimal strategic intermodal facility investment planning strategy that accounts for freight transportation demand uncertainty. The proposed model helps high-level policy makers with strategic investment planning for intermodal facilities at a regional or national level and fosters coordinated strategies and policies for intermodal facility development from a systems perspective. A scenario-based approach characterizes demand uncertainty induced by global trade changes and emerging infrastructure development projects. Dynamic demand is incorporated into the model to capture the impact of differences in the evolution of various scenarios on system-level strategic intermodal investment planning. The proposed IFLM captures the impact of congestion, transshipment costs, changes …
