Estimating the Value of Freight Delays in the Freight System
Record Type: UTC
This project is developing models to derive the value of delay for freight movements. Researchers are then applying this estimated value of delay to evaluate congestion, rank order bottlenecks and assess improvement opportunities for congestion areas. Stated preference surveys are being designed and administered to truckers, carriers and shippers. Interviews, case studies and simulations are being conducted to corroborate the findings from the stated preference survey. The objective is to provide a reliable value of delay to freight movement for practice and research.
