The purpose of this paper is to assist in developing a deeper understanding of the future career opportunities in the intermodal transportation industry. Intermodal is defined as the efficient movement of people, goods, resources, and information using an integrated system of air, land and sea modes. This paper explores the significant intermodal career opportunities and new job descriptions for the 21st century and focuses on emerging careers. The needs and opportunities for well-trained intermodal engineers, technologists, speciaslits and managers are examined. The new career opportunities that will emerge for intermodal technologists by the year 2005 are investigated. This paper explores the significant career opportunities that will appear, in which a broad range of new technologies are successfully introduced that span all transportation areas and provide enhanced connectivity; and that new jobs will emerge as: new information systems and networks are implemented, new intermodal services are provided, greater attention is given to system management, and many traditional jobs are replaced by new ones that require advanced technical skills and business practices. Finally, this presentation describes a comprehensive and innovative approach by the National Aviation and Transportation Center (NAT Center), to prepare transportation specialists for careers in intermodal transportation through innovative education, training and applied research programs. For the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD number 872978.

This conference was the fifth in a continuing series of conferences and workshops on intermodalism that have been organized by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) since the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). The objective of the conference was to examine educational and training needs related to all aspects of intermodal transportation: technology, advanced logistics, information systems, planning, and management. Over a 3-day period, participants reviewed existing and developing transportation education programs across all disciplines and examined the roles of educational institutions, private industry, and government in setting an agenda for meeting intermodal transportation education and training needs. These proceedings contain the Chairman's summary, welcoming remarks, keynote address, case studies, status reports on current programs, and the response of a panel of distinguished transportation professionals to the conference findings.

. . . the book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners. Competition and Regulation in Network Industries The book is well balanced. . . The authors depict the reality of this complex world and identify the right strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Bart Jourquin, European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research . . . the editors and the expert contributors provide a timely overview of the present role and challenges of intermodal freight transport. . . the book will not only be appealing to academics and researchers with an interest in the emerging field of intermodal transport research. As the book is largely kept at an executive and policy level, it is also appealing to practitioners and policy makers. . . the book is a valuable contribution to the study of intermodal freight transport as a new transportation research application field. It is an essential reading for all stakeholders in the field of intermodal freight transportation, providing them with insight and tools to address the mounting academic and practical challenges in this segment of the transport and logistics market. Theo Notteboom, Journal of Transport Geography This book explores the great challenge of increasing the scope of intermodal freight transport. In view of the current dominant role of road transport and the increasing difficulties in coping with a growing number of vehicles in an efficient and sustainable way, intermodal freight transport could be considered a viable alternative. However, the book makes recognition of the fact that there is still a need to improve the performance of the intermodal transport system. The expert contributors provide an overview of the present role of intermodal freight transport, address opportunities to significantly improve current performance, and demonstrate design and modelling tools used to analyse and support this performance. Requirements for the implementation of intermodal innovations are also prescribed, and policies needed to improve competitiveness are outlined. Many factors contributing to the performance and competitiveness of intermodal freight transport are explored, from technological and organisational innovations through to institutional settings and policy frameworks. This comprehensive range of topics will attract a broad audience including academics, researchers, policymakers and practitioners involved in the design and development of freight transport systems. It will also strongly appeal to those with an interest in the future of freight transport.
