Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement
Author: Keith M. Chase and Patrick AnaterPublisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 0309129672

Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, presents the process used to develop a strategic plan aimed at improving the state of the practice in freight demand modeling and freight data. The need for this plan is identified through the increasing number of freight bottlenecks found throughout the U.S. highway network, demonstrating that more information is needed on freight flows and their relation to highway capacity planning. The report documents the research approach and findings during the development of the C20 Strategic Plan, which is available on the TRB website. The report also includes documentation of the Innovations in Freight Demand Modeling and Data Symposium, a pilot effort initiated in September 2010.
Energy Abstracts for Policy Analysis
Author: Container Logistics and Maritime Transport
Author: Dong-Ping SongPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000374610
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This book provides a coherent and systematic view of the key concepts, principles, and techniques in maritime container transport and logistics chains including all the main segments: international maritime trade and logistics, freight logistics, container logistics, vessel logistics, port and terminal management, and sustainability issues in maritime transport. Container Logistics and Maritime Transport emphasizes analytical methods and current optimization models to tackle challenging issues in maritime transport and logistics. This book takes a holistic approach to cover all the main segments of the container shipping supply chains to achieve an efficient and effective logistics service system across the entire global transport chain. Sustainability issues such as social concern and carbon emissions from shipping and ports are also discussed. Each maritime transport segment is addressed using an approach from qualitative/descriptive analytics to quantitative/prescriptive analytics. Cutting-edge optimization models are presented and explained to tackle various strategic, tactical, and operational planning problems. The book will help readers better understand operations management in global maritime container transport chain. It will also provide practical principles and effective techniques and tools for researchers to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and for practitioners to implement decision support systems. It will be directly relevant to academic courses related to maritime transport, maritime logistics, transport management, international shipping, port management, container shipping, container logistics, shipping supply chain, and international logistics.
Modern Transport Telematics
Author: Jerzy MikulskiPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642246591
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Transport Systems Telematics, TST 2011, held in Katowice-Ustron, Poland, in October 2011. The 47 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book. Transport telematics systems are information technologies that are used in the field of transport, including infrastructure, vehicles and users. Intelligent transport systems are advanced applications that are to provide innovative services for the various modes of transport and traffic management. Also they should enable users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated and smarter use of transport networks. Telematic services integrate telecommunications, electronics and information technology in transport engineering in order to plan, design, operate, maintain and manage transport systems.
Feasibility Study of Road Pricing in the UK
Author: Great Britain. Department for TransportPublisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9781904763499
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
This study considers the feasibility of options for a new system of charging for road use in the UK, in order to make better use of road capacity and to help reduce traffic congestion. This would mean moving away from the current motoring taxation system and introducing a variable charging system depending on the level of road congestion. Issues discussed include: public attitudes, travel trends, options for national road pricing, institutional aspects of implementation, possible interim options to a national scheme, including the UK lorry road user charging scheme and local congestion charging pathfinder schemes. Amongst the report's conclusions, it finds that national road pricing is becoming feasible in the medium-term (in 10 to 15 years) and could meet the Government's objectives. However, its successful implementation requires the promotion of a greater degree of public acceptance. Although a national scheme is still some years off, a number of practical steps can be taken now in preparation, including promoting a public debate to inform and raise awareness, with research into road users' behaviour and implications for business; working with car manufacturers in the development of vehicle technology standards; and working with local authorities on introducing local charging schemes to tackle congestion problems. This document is published alongside the Transport White Paper "The future of transport: a network for 2030" (Cm. 6234, ISBN 0101623429).
