Freight Transport Modeling in Emerging Countries

Emerging countries have unique transport-related policies, regulatory structures, logistics systems, and long-term uncertainties that hinder their economic development. Freight Transport Modeling in Emerging Countries tackles these issues by examining decision making models for locating logistics sites such as ports and distribution centers, modelling urban freight movements in megacities and port cities, using existing datasets to get information when data is not available, implementing policies related to the national and international movements of goods, and more. Freight Transport Modeling in Emerging Countries examines freight transport models developed in emerging countries including Turkey, South Africa, India, Chile, and more. It provides a toolbox of successful freight transport model applications, alternative data collection methods and evaluation techniques for the development of future policies. The book offers solutions for issue related to the urban, national and international transportation of goods and examines new advances of freight transport models and data collection techniques and their applications in emerging countries. Includes a wide variety of opinions and approaches from subject matter experts around the worldUtilizes a case-based approachLearning tools include chapter openers, end of chapter questions, glossary and more INDICE: 1.
