Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. economy is expected to double in size over the next 30 years. Truck and rail freight traffic is expected to increase by approximately 45 percent. Air freight is expected to triple in response to demand for the rapid movement of high-value merchandise, while multimodal shipments will likely double. Texas with a gross state product (GSP) of $1.4 trillion dollars is the second largest economy in the U.S. Its size and population, central location, Gulf coastline, and energy resources require a reliable freight transportation system to facilitate further growth. This thesis focuses on the feasibility of Underground Freight Transportation (UFT) to determine the role of UFT in addressing the growing demand for freight transportation in Texas. Underground Freight Transportation (UFT) is a process in which freight is transported in large capsules moving through underground pipelines. As concluded in this thesis, UFT reduces congestion and traffic jams on highways and streets, and increases highway safety by reducing the number of accidents caused by freight trucks, and also reduces highways maintenance costs. To conduct this research, in addition to a comprehensive literature search, a survey on the feasibility of Underground Freight Transportation was performed. The survey was sent to the professionals involved in design, engineering, planning, contracting and regulating freight transportation in the state of Texas. The results of this investigation showed that, due to expected increase in freight transportation in the next couple of decades, UFT can be used as a complementary method of freight transportation to reduce the increased traffic load caused by freight trucks on the road structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Society is currently faced with many challenging problems relating to transport and the quality of life in urban areas. To solve these, more efficient and environmentally friendly freight transport systems are required to establish sustainable societies. Fortunately, there are now many emerging technologies allowing shippers and freight carriers to develop more reliable transport systems that may lead to improvements in the environment and alleviate traffic congestion.

Book excerpt: In order to determine the feasibility of intercity freight pipelines, it was necessary to determine whether sufficient traffic flows currently exist between various origins and destinations to justify consideration of a mode whose operating characteristics became competitive under conditions of high-traffic volume. An intercity origin/destination freight-flow matrix was developed for a large range of commodities from published sources. A high-freight traffic-density corridor between Chicago and New York and another between St. Louis and New York were studied. These corridors, which represented 18 cities, had single-direction flows of 16 million tons/year. If trans-shipment were allowed at each of the 18 cities, flows of up to 38 million tons/year were found in each direction. These figures did not include mineral or agricultural products. After determining that such pipeline-eligible freight-traffic volumes existed, the next step was to determine the ability of freight pipeline to penetrate such markets. Modal-split models were run on aggregate data from the 1967 Census of Transportation. Modal-split models were also run on disaggregate data specially collected for this study. The freight pipeline service characteristics were then substituted into both the aggregate and disaggregate models (truck vs. pipeline and then rail vs. pipeline) and estimates of pipeline penetration into particular STCC commodity groups were made. Based on these very preliminary results, it appears that freight pipeline has market penetration potential that is consistent with high-volume participation in the intercity freight market.
