Traditional gap acceptance functions have been estimated based on the first gap observed. In this paper we show that the critical gap of drivers is decreasing on the average, as they are waiting for an acceptable gap. Our gap acceptance function is based on a probit model which assumes a normal...

We consider a normative transshipment problem for freight flows over a multimodal network. In addition to computing the flows, which minimize a convex cost objective function, an origin/destination matrix which corresponds to the minimal cost flows must be computed as well. The supply is given...

We examine the freight transportation problem which occurs when the same authority controls and plans both the supply of transportation services (modes, routes, frequencies for the services and classification, consolidation, transfer policies for terminals) and the routing of freight. We present...
