Q

major locational factor of a transport
terminal is obviously to serve a large concentration of
economic activities, representing
a terminal’s market area.

A

location

38
Q

how well the
terminal is linked to the regional
transport system is of importance

A

accessibility

39
Q

The primary function of a
terminal is to handle and
transship freight or passengers since
modes arephysically separated.

A

infrastructure

40
Q

The time a conveyance (bus, truck, train,
or ship) is allowed to load or unload passengers
or freight at a terminal

A

dwell time

41
Q

which reflects the performance of terminal
infrastructures and management, including the scheduling and availability of transport services

A

operational

42
Q

which is usually linked with the
performance of clearance procedures
(such as checking in and customs)

A

43
Q

For passenger terminals, travelers expect the ________ dwell time possible

A

lowest

44
Q

refers to the amount of time cargo stays in a terminal yard or storage area while waiting to be loaded.

A

dwell time in freight terminal

45
Q

implying that the owner
or the carrier of the cargo deliberately leaves the cargo at the terminal as part of a transport or supply chain management strategy

A

46
Q

has incited new relations between transport terminals, which are becoming nodes in integrated transport chains.

A

port, rail, and barge terminals.

equipment.

Q

In addition to the facilities needed to
accommodate ships, trucks, and trains (berths, loading bays, and
freight yards, respectively),

A

freight terminal

Q

a wide range of handling gear and storage are required, which is determined by the types of cargo handling.

A

53
Q

A
  1. small terminal surface
  2. Dockside warehousing
  3. Direct transshipment possible
  4. Limited mechanization
  5. Improvised terminal operations
  6. Long dwell time (days or Weeks)
54
Q

container port

A
  1. large terminal surface
  2. Indirect transshipment (modal separation in time and in space)
  3. Advance mechanization and automation
  4. Organization and planning
  5. Short dwell time (hours or days)
55
Q

can be simplified as a linear function for three modes; road, rail, and maritime.

A

transport cost

56
Q

This function only considers the cost
of loading and transport to the destination, but not unloading and backhaul
moves.

A

transport cost

57
Q

It notably applies to freight,
but passenger transportation depicts similar
patterns, although maritime is not a common option outside ferries

A

transport cost

58
Q

The cost functions all begin at some point up the cost axis, representing terminal costs. Because of different terminal costs, maritime shipping (T3;port costs) and rail (T2; yard costs) have significant disadvantages compared to road (T1; loading) over short distances. This implies that road transportation is at an advantage over short distances because of its low terminal costs, while the maritime option begins to be viable over much longer distances. Although road, rail, and maritime can be perceived as competing, they are usually more complementary since last mile (or first mile) segments usually need to be performed by road.

Q

Include construction and maintenance costs of structures such as piers,
runways, cranes, and facilities (warehouses, offices, etc.).

A

infrastructure costs

60
Q

The costs of loading and unloading passengers or freight, mostly related to labor and energy.

A

Transshipment costs

61
Q

Many terminals are managed by institutions such as port or airport authorities or by private companies (e.g. terminal operators),

A

management costs

62
Q

For instance, ground and air traffic control are a necessity for airport operations. Complex terminals have extensive information systems to must be operated and maintained.

A

management costs

63
Q

Because ships have the largest carrying capacities, they incur thelargest terminal costs, since it may take many days to load or unload a vessel. Conversely, a truck or a passenger bus can be loaded much more quickly, and hence the terminal costs for road transport are the lowest. Terminal costs play an important role in determining the competitive position between the modes. Because of their high freight terminal costs, ships and rail are generally unsuitable for short-haul trips.
