SCENARIO-WISE ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEMS WITH A SMILE
Public decisionmakers in transport and logistics are more and more dependent upon strategic information on the expected development of freight flows. This paper reports on the development and the first applications of a new strategic model for freight transport and logistics in and around the Netherlands, called SMIE (Strategic Model for Integrated Logistics Evaluations). The model was constructed in a joint effort of the Transport Research Center of the Ministry of Transport and the research organizations NEI (Netherlands Economic Institute) and TNO Inro. The paper explains the structure of the information system, discuss the possible usage of this model for exploring the effects of Transport policy upon changes in freight flows, including the logistic organization of firms, and describe an application of the model.
