Feasibility Study of Semi-Truck Transport via Rail

Integrated.Travel Research and Development is tasked with conducting an engineering and feasibility study for the Triangle Railroad Holding Company. The project aims to evaluate the current equipment used for loading, offloading, and transporting semi-trucks on rail. The study will also assess the feasibility of this transportation method. The goal is to provide a comprehensive analysis that includes the types of equipment required, budget estimates for setup, and annual maintenance costs over a 20-year period. Additionally, the study will determine the maximum weight limit per truck set, the maximum number of truck sets that can be hauled per train set, the required annual number of truck sets hauled to cover costs, and the distance needed to justify the transportation costs.

Global Awareness Campaign for Federation of Beer

Federation of Beer has been successfully brewing and distributing Star Trek themed ales in Europe and North America since 2010. With a recent shift towards supporting local brewers and suppliers, the company has pivoted its business practices to promote hyper-local brewing. Despite positive feedback from face-to-face interactions with consumers and Star Trek fans, there is a growing concern that many potential customers are unaware of Federation of Beer's story and its efforts to support local breweries. Additionally, with the expansion into 88 new countries in 2022, there is a significant opportunity to increase the global exposure of these award-winning craft brewers. The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive global awareness campaign to enhance the visibility of Federation of Beer and its local brewery collaborations.
