Modelling interregional transport systems

Abstract

The demand for large-scale interregional transport modelling is growing as the ability to do this type of work increases. There is clearly a promise held out by modelling to answer questions of regional economic growth distribution of benefits and incidence of costs. However, many problems are still to be faced in the design and implementation of these models before these expectations can be fully realized. This paper treats some of these problems with suggestions as to how they can be handled.

“…The TJ has proven itself as a valuable platform for debating the issues of the day, relying on science and empirical research while allowing (if not encouraging) authors to respond to one another with comments (Allen 2005;Bailey 1979;Hazard 1978;Houston 1979;Martin 1979aMartin , 1979bOlson 1978;Roberts 1978;Spychalski 1972;Swan 2005). While discussion of "deregulation" has diminished, new discussions are starting to take place concerning railroad "reregulation" (Boyd 2010), port trucker regulations (Mongelluzzo 2010), repeal of the Jones Act (Edmonson 2010a), and revitalization of inland waterways (Edmonson 2010b).…”
