Advanced Shipping Container Transportation System Solutions (semester?), IPRO 307: Advanced Shipping Container Transport IPRO 307 IPRO Day Presentation Sp07

The main objective of the IPRO 307 team in the Spring 2007 semester is to completely design a modern intermodal yard for the city of Gary, Indiana. It will be capable of handling the forecasted increase in container movement over the next decade while decreasing the demand placed on existing intermodal facilities in Chicago and northwest Indiana. Several intermediate goals must be met in order to accomplish this objective, which include:  Selecting the site and planning the physical layout of the Gary yard which maximizes efficiency and minimizes any negative effects on the surrounding areas,  Making recommendations concerning the appropriate number, size, and type of cranes capable of handling the predicted capacity, and  Developing a demonstration of software capable of tracking containers and trucks both within the yard and regionallyDeliverables for IPRO 307: Advanced Shipping Container Transportation System Solutions for the Spring 2007 semeste
