Abstract: The strategic network design for multimodal freight transportation is gaining attention from a variety of researchers, such as academic scholars, practitioners and policymakers. Consequently, multimodal freight transportation strategic network design has seen a significant increase in the number of research articles in last two decades. This article evaluates the current state of multimodal freight transportation network design using classification and coding methodology. In this methodology, relevant freight network design articles are divided into different classes such as sustainability aspects, operations research models, available transport modes, the decision maker involved and region of study. The objective of this papers is two-fold namely (a) to identify the existing research in the strategic network design under sustainability aspects, operations research models, available transport modes, actor involved and region of study, and (b) to discuss the new research dimensions of strategic network design for multimodal freight transportation network design.
