Abstract Freight Trip Generation (FTG) in general and FTG modelling in particular are fields that are not concentrated upon as much as passenger trip generation. Therefore, the main …
This paper describes a Freight Tour Synthesis (FTS) model designed to infer aggregate pick- up/delivery tour flows using secondary data, such as traffic counts and zonal freight trip …
Freight truck movements exhibit extensive trip interaction between shippers, receivers, and carriers of goods, logistics constraints, and use of advanced information technology. Such …
Large urban freight traffic generators (LTGs) are large specialized buildings or landmarks housing multiple establishments and generate a significant truck trips at both disaggregate …
This paper introduces a multi-commodity, single (generic) vehicle formulation of freight ODS model that combines a commodity-based model to estimate loaded truck trips and a …
A hybrid microsimulation modeling framework is proposed to construct goods-related vehicle tours that satisfy a known commodity flow origin–destination (OD) matrix in an urban …
The paper introduces a set of area based freight trip generation (FTG) models. In addition, the paper assesses the performance of the area and with employment based FTG models …
Trip-based models and activity-based models represent two extreme ends of the spectrum of travel demand models in data granularity requirement and ability to reflect the underlying …
An increasing amount of research is dedicated to the consideration of tour formation in freight transportation demand models. While empirical tour formation models so far have …
