Transportation Characteristics of Truck, Rail, and Water Freight
The papers deal with (a) the general problem of determining the origin-destination flows of cargo vehicles, both loaded and empty, that are required to serve a specified transportation demand matrix; (b) an application of discriminant analysis in which travel demand is divided between transportation modes on the Ohio River; (c) the origins and uses of the ton-mile, its shortcomings, and its current misuse as a measure not only of tons and miles (megagrams and kilometers) but also of efficiency, competition, and productivity; (d) a review of the history of government planning for railroads in the United States, an examination of the requirements of present laws, and a description of what a rail plan can contain and what rail planning might accomplish; and (e) a description of the application of a linear programming model to the routing of empty railroad cars to determine where excess capacity exists.
