This paper analyses the effectiveness of applying the Quick Response Freight Manual (QRFM) to model freight transportation. Typically, freight transportation is indirectly modeled or as an after-thought. Increasing freight volumes, coupled with cost saving... by Karen | Jan 1, 2009 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Dr. Michael D.

This paper presents a simulation model to evaluate the operations of the container facility at the International Intermodal Center in Huntsville, AL. The simulation was used to determine if throughput can satisfy anticipated demand and if sufficient resources are... by Karen | Jan 1, 2009 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.
