Book excerpt: This report presents the recommendations and findings from a study of the feasibility of establishing a program for collecting and reporting commodity flow information for the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). Historically, the MDT has had a strong interest in ensuring that there is a good data base from which to determine Montana freight transportation needs. This has resulted in the collection and reporting of freight related information as part of statewide planning, rail planning, special studies, and in an ongoing traffic monitoring program by MDT. MDT managers and a sample of freight transportation providers were interviewed to identify MDT commodity flow data requirements. The focus of the study is on commodity flow information and not freight or goods movement information. The interview results provide perspective on data requirements at each level of the organization. The interview findings, and the evaluation of MDT ongoing goods movement related planning, indicate that MDT commodity flow data requirements are largely met, and that the principal unmet requirements are for a better baseline of information on current and future goods movement. It is not recommended that MDT proceed with conducting a commodity flow data collection and study, as the information collected would have only a narrow use in the department.

Download or read book Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement written by Keith M. Chase and Patrick Anater and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Container Logistics and Maritime Transport written by Dong-Ping Song and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Feasibility Study of Road Pricing in the UK written by Great Britain. Department for Transport and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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).
Download or read book Statewide and Sub area Transportation Model Feasibility Study written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research, a feasibility study to develop an Idaho statewide transportation model is conducted. Review of statewide transportation models from Florida, Wyoming, Michigan, Vermont, Indiana, and Pennsylvania is conducted to summarize the most appropriate procedure for developing a statewide model. On the local level, the transportation planning effort in Idaho is reviewed. This effort includes review of the metropolitan planning organization models as well as Idaho commodity flows, which will be the basis for the statewide model. A review of the transportation planning software packages is conducted to select the most appropriate package for statewide modeling. The research team recommends Transplan as the outweighing package for Idaho statewide modeling. A transportation model requires the input of a transportation network, traffic data and land use data. Therefore, the availability of existing digital databases is assessed. This study has constructed the foundation for developing the Idaho statewide travel demand model. On the basis of this feasibility study, ITD will implement phase two of this project, the development of the Idaho Statewide Transportation Model. The proposal for the model is represented in the final section of this report.
Download or read book Modern Transport Telematics written by Jerzy Mikulski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
