Abstract: Efficient provision and suitable location of freight terminals such as ports, rail and truck terminals are necessary to establish a multimodal freight transport system. This paper proposed a model that can be used as a tool for strategic level of planning, particularly in freight terminal development. It presented a freight network assignment model that explicitly incorporates the various activities within the terminal taking into account not only freight flows but also passenger flows. Model application to actual transport network in Sumatra and Java, Indonesia revealed that the model adequately represents the freight network behaviour and sufficiently predicts the major freight flows in accordance with available data.
