Lightweighting shipping containers: Life cycle impacts on multimodal freight transportation

Multimodal Statewide Freight Transportation Model

Biodistillate Transportation Fuels 3 – Life Cycle Impacts

Life-cycle assessments (LCA) of biodistillate fuels are becoming increasingly important for policy decisions regarding alternative fuels. However, due to the dataintensive and assumptive nature of LCAs, rarely do two different studies produce comparable results. To add to the complexity, effects of indirect land use changes are now being incorporated into LCA models. This development is influen...

Sensor Network Design for Multimodal Freight Transportation Systems

Multimodal, multicommodity international freight simultaneous transportation network equilibrium model

An implementation of the International Freight Simultaneous Transportation Equilibrium Model (IFSTEM) that developed in United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), to the goods trade through the ports and lands of Jordon, Syria, and Lebanon is presented. Although some socio-economic variables, which are not available, were required for IFSTEM model calibration, some ...

Intermodal Freight Transportation

The 21st century will see a renewed focus on intermodal freight transportation driven by the changing requirements of global supply chains. Each of the transportation modes (air, inland water, ocean, pipeline, rail, and road) has gone through technological evolution and has functioned separately under a modally based regulatory structure for most of the 20th century. With the development of con...
