Description
Following September 11, 2001, numerous security policies have been created
which have caused a number of unique challenges in planning for the transportation
networks. In particular, there is a need to enhance security by improving collaboration
between various transportation modes. The transportation modes are disconnected
and have unequal levels of security and efficiency. Tools need to be refined for
collaboration and consensus building to serve as catalysts for efficient transportation
solutions. In this study, we developed and investigated a mathematical model using
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess the safety and security of intermodal
transportation facilities. The model identifies the best and worst performers by
assessing several safety and security-related variables. The DEA model can assess the
efficiency level of safety and security of intermodal facilities and identify potential
solutions for improvement.
