Freight and passenger transport are two main functions of the infrastructure and transportation networks in each country. It is required to efficiently utilize the transportation infrastructures to increase transportation-related performance measures. In this study, data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is used to evaluate performance of the Iranian provinces from the freight and passenger tran...

In this study, an investigation of long-term forecasts relating to the development of the transport sector in Poland is performed, including the ones by 2030 and 2050. Selected transport development forecasts from the perspective of the membership of Poland in the European Union are presented and most of all, from the perspective of national studies. The basement for the review was the prognosi...

significant advantages of intermodal and containerized transport have increased the global interest to this mode of transportation. this growing interest is reflected in the annual volume of container cargo growth. however, the container transport inside iran does not have a proper place. comparing the count of containers entering and leaving ports with the statistics obtained from railway and ...

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 interm...

This paper written for IMPRINT [IMPRINT, 2001] addresses the concerns of the freight transport with respect to urban pricing schemes. The viewpoints of the transport stakeholders, the limited reaction possibilities within the goods collection and distribution processes as well as the cities interests are presented for the different pricing motivations: the fair charging of infrastructure cost, ...

Since fr...

In the last years the interest in urban freight mobility has increased. However, the management and control of urban freight transport requires models which simulate the transport system. In literature some models have been analysed and implemented with tools which allow the verification of the measures adopted in several cities around the world. In paper a review of measures implemented in som...
