Modelling the demand for freight transport: a new approach

A new approach to studying the demand for intercity freight transport is proposed. The approach utilises a switching simultaneous equations system to derive a discrete/continuous choice model for the choices of mode and shipment size in the intercity freight market. The method is applied to a study...

Summary:A new approach to studying the demand for intercity freight transport is proposed. The approach utilises a switching simultaneous equations system to derive a discrete/continuous choice model for the choices of mode and shipment size in the intercity freight market. The method is applied to a study of the demand for intercity freight transport. (Abstract amended)
