A matching model for the backhaul problem
Demirel, Erhan; Ommeren, Jos van; Rietveld, Piet - 2007
The ‘backhaul problem’ is characterized by an imbalance in transport flows between locations. This problem is usually … freight price of transport from low demand regions to high demand regions, the so-called backhaul price, drops to zero. This … for transport by customers, may play an important role in the determination of backhaul prices. We demonstrate that …

TransNIEMO : economic impact analysis using a model of consistent interregional economic and network equilibria
Cho, JoongKoo; Gordon, Peter; Moore, James Elliott; … - 2014
We describe a model that integrates a multi-regional input-output model of the U.S. (50 states and the District of Columbia) with the national highway network. Interstate commodity shipments are placed on a congestible highway network. Simulations of major choke-point disruptions redirect...
