Multimodal, Multistate Corridor Modeling for Long-Distance Movements of Food and Containerized Goods
The purpose of this project is to develop an archetypal model for a lengthy freight corridor (comprised of many jurisdictions) that can be used for capacity, performance, and investment analysis. Uses of the model will be illustrated, along with its limitations and desired data improvements. The potential for transference to other corridors and settings will be discussed, as well as suggestions for future model development. While the same modeling approach can be used for many commodities and types of flows, this project will focus on food, energy-related, and container traffic. These primary flows are critical to global trade, economic development, and food security.
