The approach utilises a 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 the demand for intercity freight transport using data from the US Census of transportation.
1
Applies the proposed modelling approach to empirical data from the US Census of Transportation to analyze intercity freight demand.
2
Introduces a simultaneous equations system to derive a discrete/continuous choice model for mode and shipment size decisions in intercity freight transport.
3
Model jointly represents freight mode choice and shipment size, capturing discrete (mode) and continuous (shipment size) decisions simultaneously.
