9 This chapter describes the concepts necessary to characterize the freight transportation system and its relationships to the land use system and the study of FG/FTG/STG. The Freight System Characterizing the freight system is challenging because of its multifaceted and highly heterogeneous nature.

12 Using Commodity Flow Survey Microdata and Other establishment Data to estimate the Generation of Freight, Freight trips, and Service trips Relationship Between the Freight System and Land Use This section discusses the interconnected relationship between freight activity and land use, building on both empirical evidence and theory. On the one hand, land use patterns can impact FG/FTG/STG patterns, as the different activities generate different amounts of freight-related trips.

Key Concepts 13 be that, in most cases, land use is a constraint to the production process, not an input. From the economic/logistic point of view, the input factors that determine FG and FTG include labor, capital, and other intermediate inputs to the process.
