Terminator Description
This terminator represents a depot operated either by a depot manager or an alternate mode freight shipper which represents the point of exchange where freight is moved from one mode to another. The depot has knowledge about activities that may impact travel on roadways such as large groups of trucks entering the highway after unloading a ship or freight train. The depot interfaces to the ITS to coordinate freight movement with Fleet-Freight Managers, gather information on traffic conditions affecting the depot, and to provide information on intermodal freight activities that is pertinent to traffic movement in the surrounding area.
