GE Project EDSGN 100 Section 8 Group 7 12/6/15 Objective: To design a cost-effective freight shipping system that reduces smog and meets EPA requirements, while maintaining or increasing freight capacity into Philadelphia. Definition of the Problem Space: Stakeholders: The primary stakeholders are the planning commission and the city residents. The secondary stakeholders are GE and EPA. Current System: Currently in Philadelphia, approximately 165,000 tons of freight and coal are shipped into the port city by train, truck, and boat from a 500 mile radius. There are 20 freight loads, 5 mineral and coal and 15 other, various freight. Last year, freight and coal entering the city of Philadelphia was shipped 81% by truck, 10% by rail, and 9% by ship. Smog, engine emitted NOx, is a major complaint from the public. Also, the Tier 2 locomotives are soon going to be required to meet the EPA Tier 3 requirements, which reduce NOx by 26% and particulate matter by 50%. For 2015, EPA has changed their standards to Tier 4 requirements which reduces NOx emissions by 76% and particulate matter by 70%. Multimodal System: Multi-modal transportation is the shipping of goods by two or more modes of transportation. The benefits to multi-modal transportation include faster transit of the freight, reduced congestion, lower costs, and reduction of the cost of exports. Creating a multimodal system allows freight to be distributed immediately within the system because all modes of transportation are available. We decided to place our multimodal system around an existing sea port because that will save construction costs. (Fig. 1) Costs: Trucking is the quickest and most expensive way to move freight and shipping is the most energy efficient when comparing ships and trucks. Retrofitting locomotives will cost the most, and buying new locomotives will save roughly 1.5 billion dollars, so we decided in the long run it would be best to buy new locomotives and sell the others. The trains will solely be used for moving the coal and minerals which make up 60,000 tons of the total freight per day, which will help cut down on the smog by upgrading to Tier 4 and not using only trains to transport 165,000 tons. The other 105,000 tons of freight will be shipped by a combination of ship and truck based on cost and emission efficiency. Specifications: A. Reduce NOx emissions by 76% and particulate matter by 70% B. Least costly combination of ship, truck, and rail in a multimodal system C. Maintain freight capacity of 165,000 tons per day D.

Maintain positive public opinion; eliminate noise at locations greater than a 10 mile radius, decrease congestion (500 trucks on the road removed each year), jobs created, multimodal system visually organized E. Delivery time no longer than one more day.
