Description
Freight Transport Modeling in Emerging Countries examines freight transport models developed in emerging countries including Turkey, South Africa, India, Chile, and more. It provides a toolbox of successful freight transport model applications, alternative data collection methods, and evaluation techniques for the development of future policies. The book offers solutions for issues related to the urban, national, and international transportation of goods and examines new advances in freight transport models and data collection techniques and their applications in emerging countries.
Emerging countries have unique transport-related policies, regulatory structures, logistics systems, and long-term uncertainties that hinder their economic development. This book tackles these issues by examining decision-making models for locating logistics sites such as ports and distribution centers, modeling urban freight movements in megacities and port cities, using existing datasets to get information when data is not available, implementing policies related to the national and international movements of goods, and more.

Ioanna Kourounioti, Technical Expert, Smart Freight Centre in Amsterdam. She researches the behavior between the different actors of the supply chain and has co-authored more than 20 scientific publications. Lori Tavasszy (1967) is full professor in Freight & Logistics Systems at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. He has been with the Dutch national research institute TNO between 1996 and 2016, with several university assignments since 2004. He has published widely about freight transport modelling research topics, including the Elsevier textbook Modelling Freight Transport. Prof. Tavasszy is active in several US Transportation Research Board committees and chairs the scientific committee of the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS). He has developed innovation roadmaps on freight corridors, the physical internet and zero-emission logistics within the European Technology Platform ALICE and on freight transport modelling with the Dutch Road and Waterways Authority Rijkswaterstaat Hanno Friedrich, Assistant Professor of Freight Transportation - Modelling and Policy at Kuehne Logistics University. He researches freight transport demand modelling, transport economics, risk management in transport and logistics, and food logistics.
