Commodity Flow Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
The project reported on here was undertaken with the primary objective of creating a database of commodity flows into and out of the counties of Indiana and to allocate this commodity traffic to the transportation network of the state. Such a database was to form the foundation for a general transportation model for Indiana that would assist state decision-makers in evaluating the various alternatives for public investment in the transportation infrastructure of the state.

Modeling interregional commodity flows with incorporating network autocorrelation in spatial interaction models: An application of the US interstate commodity flows
Spatial interaction models are frequently used to predict and explain interregional commodity flows. Studies suggest that the effects of spatial structure significantly influence spatial interaction models, often resulting in model misspecification. Competing destinations and intervening opportunities have been used to mitigate this issue. Some recent studies also show that the effects of spati...
متن کاملSolving Rolling Stock Scheduling Problems at SNCF
We present a generic mathematical modeling approach for solving rolling stock scheduling problems. Our approach is based on a time-space network and a multi-commodity flow model; in order to deal with the various types of rolling stock scheduling problems faced by SNCF planners, it integrates numerous modeling settings and features including maintenance routing requirements which are treated by...
متن کاملOption Pricing on Commodity Prices Using Jump Diffusion Models
In this paper, we aim at developing a model for option pricing to reduce the risks associated with Ethiopian commodity prices fluctuations. We used the daily closed Unwashed Lekempti grade 5 (ULK5) coffee and Whitish Wollega Sesame Seed Grade3 (WWSS3) prices obtained from Ethiopia commodity exchange (ECX) market to analyse the prices fluctuations.The natures of log-returns of the prices exhibit a...
متن کاملMulti-commodity location-routing: Flow intercepting formulation and branch-and-cut algorithm
Research on the location-routing problem (LRP) is very active, producing a good number of effective exact and approximated solution approaches. It is noteworthy that most of the contributions present in the literature address the single-commodity LRP, whereas the multi-commodity case has been scarcely investigated. Yet, this issue assumes an important role in many LRP applications, particularly...
متن کاملRobust Optimization for Network - based Resource Allocation Problems under Uncertainty by Lavanya Marla
We consider large-scale, network-based, resource allocation problems under uncertainty, with specific focus on the class of problems referred to as multi-commodity flow problems with time-windows. These problems are at the core of many network-based resource allocation problems. Inherent data uncertainty in the problem guarantees that deterministic optimal solutions are rarely, if ever, execute...
