This paper analyses three different approaches of supply representation for intermodal nodes and
proposes some functional and topological models for the representation of ports and Freight Villages.
Besides in the paper functional and topological representation of container port and freight village are
proposed.
Further research is directed to the specification and calibration of cost functions, useful for cost
estimation for different components of node network, with a view to facilitate the analyses of freight
mobility on multimodal large networks.
