The users’ perception on the planning of intermodal freight transport terminal in Peninsular Malaysia / Mohd Sabri Mohd Arip

There is the need to consider the establishment of strategic logistic centers such as a comprehensive intermodal freight transport terminal to support the tremendous pace of logistics development in Malaysia. There are some problems of transportation and goods distribution in this country such as do...

There are some problems of transportation and goods distribution in this country such as documentation, custom clearance process, terminal locations, planning issues and transportation as well as distribution using service trucks.

This study focuses on three important elements in planning comprehensive ports, inland ports and distriparks in Malaysia namely; the physical elements, core-on site service elements and core-on site activity elements to enhance goods transportation and distribution system performance for these terminals. A survey was conducted by the researcher towards 257 freight forwarder companies and several discussions with public and private sectors in completing this study. The data was analysed using statistical and multiple regression analysis in order to improve the terminal and to measure the performance of the terminals studied.

Findings also show that goods distribution system have a very high level of significance with the three intermodal freight transport terminal elements namely; physical elements, core-on site service elements and core-on site activity elements at ports, inland ports and distriparks in Peninsular Malaysia.
