Abstract: Following September 11, 2001, numerous security policies which have caused a number of unique challenges in planning for the transportation networks. In particular, there is a need to enhance security by improving collaboration between various transportation modes. The transportation modes are disconnected and have unequal levels of security and efficiency. Tools need to be redefined for collaboration and consensus building to serve as catalysts for efficient transportation solutions. In this study, we develop and investigate a mathematical model using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to access the safety and security of intermodal transportation facilities. The model identifies the best and worst performers by accessing several safety and security related variables. The DEA model can assess the efficiency level of safety and security of intermodal facilities and identify potential solutions for improvement.
