This paper presents the development of a simulation model to evaluate the impact of increased 18-wheel truck traffic on the I-10 tunnel crossing the Mobile River in downtown Mobile, Alabama. The increased truck traffic is resulting from overall globalization of... by Karen | Sep 1, 2008 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Dr. Michael D.

Simulating freight activity in a statewide model requires the development of an origin/destination matrix containing internal-internal trips, internal-external and external-internal trips, and external-external trips. The external-external trips are often difficult... by Karen | May 1, 2008 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Dr. Michael D. Anderson, P.E., Freight, Logistics, & Transportation, Presentation
Freight analysis and planning has lagged behind traditional transportation planning and is often neglected in models following the four-step process. National projections are that freight shipments will double in the next decade. In Alabama, manufacturing growth and... by Karen | May 1, 2008 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A.
