Online resources: Summary: Freight Transport Modelling is a unique new reference book that provides insight into the state-of-the-art of freight modelling. Focusing on models used to support public transport policy analysis, Freight Transport Modelling systematically introduces the latest freight transport modelling approaches and describes the main methods and techniques used to arrive at operational models. As freight transport has grown exponentially in recent decades, policymakers now need to include freight flows in quantitative evaluations of transport systems. Whereas early freight modelling practice was inspired by passenger transport models, by now it has developed its separate stream of methods and techniques inspired by disciplines such as economic geography and supply chain management. Besides summarizing the latest achievements in fundamental research, this book describes the state of practice and advises practitioners on how to cope with typical challenges such as limitations in data availability. Uniquely focused book exploring the key issues and logistics of freight transport modelling Highlights the latest approaches and describes the main methods and techniques used to arrive at operational models Summarizes fundamental research into freight transport modeling, as well as current practices and advice for practitioners facing day-to-day challenges.Summary: Front Cover -- Modelling Freight Transport -- Copyright Page -- Contents -- List of Contributors -- 1 Introduction -- 1.1 Background and Objectives -- 1.2 Conceptual Framework for Freight Decisions -- 1.2.1 Goods: Production, Consumption and Trade -- 1.2.2 Inventory Networks -- 1.2.3 Transport Organisation -- 1.3 Freight Models - Theoretical Perspective of the Book -- 1.4 Freight Models - Practical Perspectives Addressed -- 1.5 Organisation of This Volume -- References -- 2 Modelling Inter-Regional Freight Demand with Input-Output, Gravity and SCGE Methodologies -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 State-of-the-Art in of Inter-Regional Freight Demand Modelling -- 2.3 Forecasting Inter-Regional Trade Using Gravity -- 2.3.1 The History of Gravity Model -- 2.3.2 Theoretical Foundations of Gravity Equation -- 2.4 Multi-Regional I/O Framework -- 2.4.1 Multi-Regional IO Models with Fixed Trade Coefficients -- 2.4.2 Introduction of Variable Trade Coefficients Using Random Utility Theory -- 2.4.3 Overview of Empirical Inter-Regional IO Models -- 2.4.3.1 RIMS II -- 2.4.3.2 IMPLAN -- 2.4.3.3 REMI Model -- 2.4.3.4 FIDELIO 1 -- 2.4.3.5 IDEM -- 2.4.3.6 PECAS -- 2.5 Spatial General Equilibrium Models and NEG Effects -- 2.5.1 Overview of the Methodology -- 2.5.2 Calibration of SCGE Models -- 2.5.3 Simple Mathematical Formulation -- 2.5.4 Including the Spatial Dimension -- 2.5.5 Capital and Labour Mobility -- 2.5.6 Agglomeration/Dispersion Forces -- 2.5.7 Review of the Empirical SCGE Models -- 2.5.7.1 MIRAGE -- 2.5.7.2 GEM-E3 -- 2.5.7.3 DART -- 2.5.7.4 MONASH -- 2.5.7.5 SCGE Model for Japan -- 2.5.7.6 CGEurope Model -- 2.5.7.7 PINGO Model -- 2.5.7.8 SCGE Model for the Philippines -- 2.5.7.9 B-MARIA Model for Brazil -- 2.5.8 The RAEM Family of SCGE Models -- 2.5.8.1 RAEM-Light Model -- 2.5.8.2 RAEM Model -- 2.5.8.3 RHOMOLO Model of EU DG Regional Policy and JRC-IPTS.PPN: PPN: 807192554Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PBE | ZDB-30-PQE
