Freight Systems 2008
TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2066 includes 13 papers that explore trip chaining behavior in hybrid microsimulation urban freight models, a dynamic freight simulation–assignment model for a large-scale intermodal rail network, market potential for international rail-based intermodal services in Europe, and regional repositioning of empty containers. This issue of the TRR also examines sources of delay for dray trucks at container terminals; hinterland strategy selection for container port based on GE matrix and fuzzy TOPSIS; iterated cooperation and possible deviations between liner shipping carriers based on noncooperative game theory; and service time variability at Blaine, Washington. In addition, this Journal highlights freight issues associated with border crossing, screening process for identifying potential truck-only toll lanes in a metropolitan area, cost-recovery optimization methodology for a fixed-class truck tolling structure, bias in truck toll forecasts, tolling heavy goods vehicles, and approaches to improving rollover stability of cargo tank motor vehicles.
