site selection of dry ports haven't been studied in iran as a academic research or public research, so the main purpose of the resaerch is to list and prioritise all the factors affecting site selection of dry port in iran. these factors are selected according to competetive advantage of seaport performance and considered the needs of customers and actors involved in transportation industr...

A number of factors influence the efficiency, productivity, and welfare of transportation networks. Travel demand, user costs, and facility supply costs equili-brate on various time scales under a set of pricing (taxes and tolls), investment and ownership policies. Two types of equilibria exist in a transportation network, short-run traffic equilibrium and long-run supply-demand equilibrium. Th...

In this paper, we propose a transportation network efficiency measure that can be used to assess the performance of a transportation network and which differs from other proposed measures, including complex network measures, in that it captures flows, costs, and travel behavior information, along with the topology. The new transportation network efficiency measure allows one to determine the cr...

The air transportation network in a country has a great impact on the local, national and global economy. In this paper, we analyze the air transportation network in Brazil with complex network features to better understand its characteristics. In our analysis, we built networks composed either by national or by international flights. We also consider the network when both types of flights are ...

1 Abstract Traditionally, the design of a transportation system has focused on either vehicle design or the network flow, assuming the other as given. However, to define a system level architecture for a transportation system, it is advantageous to expand the system boundary during the design process to include the network routing, the vehicle specifications, and the operations, which couple th...
