Researchers and public agencies have proposed consolidation policies as an alternative to increase truck payload utilization and mitigate externalities produced by freight transportation. Understanding and enhancing the economic mechanisms that lead to freight consolidation can ease the...

International trade has evolved into a complex network of global value chains (GVCs) that take advantage of the low cost and high scope of international maritime transportation (MT). Given the interconnectivity of GVCs, regional economic crises propagate rapidly. This paper uses complex network...

This paper investigates the role of reputability and public policy on the shipper’s willingness to pay for visibility features in an emerging market. In recent years, vehicle visibility has penetrated rapidly into business thanks to geographic positioning systems (GPS) devices, which allow...

Traffic holding-back is considered an undesirable issue in dynamic traffic assignment since the vehicles are artificially held back on links in spite of the availability of downstream capacity. Holding-back occurs naturally in some system optimal dynamic traffic assignment models. In this paper,...

This paper develops a formulation for the network level dynamic traffic equilibrium model with departure time choice and route choice. The embedded network loading procedure follows the cell transmission model without the holding-back issues by using detailed representations of flows at merges...
