نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper discusses requirements for freight modelling and presents specific approaches concerning freight surveys, demand and network modelling, rail freight optimisation and freight assignment including: • Surveying methods for collecting road based demand data. • WIVER/VISEVA: a demand modelling system for urban and regional commercial transport. • SPIN: a multimodal network model for intermodal freight transport in Europe. • VISUM Cargo: a tool for optimising rail freight transport • Freight assignment: discussion of unimodal and intermodal assignment

Freight Market Interactions Simulation (FREMIS): An Agent-based Modeling Framework
Freight transport is the output of an economic market, which converts commodity flows into vehicle flows. Interactions in this market influence vehicle flows and since freight market characteristics (product differentiation and economies of scale/scope) violate perfect competition conditions, the output of this market cannot be predicted directly, unless these interactions are represented in th...
متن کاملAccommodating supply chain structure in models of freight mode choice
Modern logistics systems involves complicated interactions amongst many different decision agents within a complex supply chain structures. Accordingly, in contrast to passenger transport, choice decisions in freight transport are typically not concentrated in a single agent, but are co-operatively and sometimes competitively made with different degrees of relationships by multiple individuals ...
متن کاملFreight Demand Characteristics and Mode Choice: An Analysis of the Results of Modeling with Disaggregate Revealed Preference Data
Considerably less research has been done on modeling freight demand with disaggregate discrete models than on modeling passenger demand. The principal reason for this imbalance is the lack of freight demand data. Freight demand characteristics are expensive to obtain and are sometimes confidential. This paper analyzes the freight demand characteristics that drive modal choice by means of a larg...

The paper provides a review of freight transport demand models for applications in urban and metropolitan areas. The perspective adopted is the short-term one of public decision-makers involved in transport planning and traffic management. The paper recalls the general methodology to be used for assessing the city logistics scenario and the features of models in relation to the planning horizon...
متن کاملA Survey of Optimization Models for Long-Haul Freight Transportation
We present the main freight transportation planning and management issues, brie y review the associated literature, describe a number of major developments, and identify trends and challenges. In order to keep the length of the paper within reasonable limits, we focus on long-haul, intercity, freight transportation. Optimization-based operations research methodologies are privileged. The paper ...
