From page 80...
... 80 This chapter describes the mathematical formulations used to specify the freight mode choice models estimated as part of this research. The discussion starts with the shipment-size models, followed by the market-share and the shipment-level models.
From page 81...
... Model Formulations 81 Overview of Model Results Three different types of models were estimated as part of this research: (1) Shipment-size models.
From page 82...
... 82 Impacts of Policy-Induced Freight Modal Shifts The freight mode choice models (both aggregate and disaggregate) are grouped into two categories: (1)
From page 83...
... Model Formulations 83 models, in place of the real shipment sizes. The models expressed shipment size as a function of the GCD between shipment origin and destination in miles, which is reported in the CFS for each shipment.
From page 84...
... 84 Impacts of Policy-Induced Freight Modal Shifts For models that use generalized cost: As shown in Equation (16)
From page 85...
... Model Formulations 85 must take into account the econometric interactions between the continuous choice of shipment size and the discrete choice of freight (or vehicle) mode.
From page 86...
... 86 Impacts of Policy-Induced Freight Modal Shifts For models that use transit time and freight rates separately: For models that use generalized cost: where Tt = Transit time (in hours) by truck, Tr = Transit time (in hours)
