      <title>DUAL MODE PLANNING CASE STUDY, ORANGE COUNTY. VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND PLANNING ANALYSIS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/150820</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The volume is one of five which document two separate planning case studies examining the feasibility of dual mode transit systems in (1) Orange County, California, and (2) Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The main objective of this case study was to provide feedback to dual mode system design efforts. Before the dual mode system development proceeded to large-scale demonstration and testing, cost, performance, and demand relationships needed to be investigated analytically so that efficient design characteristics and operating regimes could be prescribed. The study incorporated a full-fledged technical planning analysis in a real urban area assuming that the required dual mode vehicles and control systems were available. Supply and demand relationships were parameterized so that the impacts of variations in factors such as access/egress time, guideway speed, headways, fare level, vehicle size, etc., can be determined.]]></description>

      <title>AGGREGATES: SPECS SPUR SIZE SHORTAGE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/635744</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Because of more stringent aggregate requirements in the Federal Highway Administration's Superpave paving specification, aggregate producers are, or soon will be, short on certain sizes unless they gear up with new production equipment.  That is raising fears in the concrete industry that the squeeze ultimately will lead to poorly performing concrete.  Aggregate producers may have to make some difficult decisions about investing millions of dollars on crushers, screens, and conveyors.  At issue is how hard federal and state transportation agencies push the use of Superpave.]]></description>

      <title>DISCUSSION PANEL REPORT: AIRPORTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/477765</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The panel focused on the expected development of the aviation industry's supporting infrastructure, discussing and analyzing social, cultural, political and technological trends and economic statistics to develop alternative future scenarios for the industry forecasts.  The panel sought to provide early identification of innovations over the next 10 years.  Some of the issues considered were:  Examining various global trends in commercialization and privatization of airports, air traffic control systems, and airlines and their impact on the U.S. scene, where these matters are handled differently; How regional jets, newer larger aircraft, and telecommunications technologies will affect airports and future demand forecasts; and What the 10-year impact of low-cost carriers will be on market demand. Capacity as well as environmental constraints at airports are widely understood throughout the industry, but by discussing the context of these issues within the broader framework of aviation system elements the panel was able to identify some pathmarks to the future.  The panel reviewed the airport passenger demand forecasts and the aircraft activity at Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilities forecasts.  The panel believed that the unconstrained growth projections by FAA are reasonable demand forecasts and are attainable if airports and related infrastructure, the supply-side of the equation, proves adequate to accommodate a near doubling of commercial passengers over the next 10 to 12 years.  Demand is not uniform throughout the national system of airports, however.  Significantly different growth rates occurring at various airports create the potential for capacity constraint choke points within the system.  The panel examined both positive and negative supply side factors that FAA should consider, that may affect demand-side forecasts in the future.  The panel focused on infrastructure-related factors which are seen as potential threats to the continued growth of air passenger demand, and those factors which represent opportunities to relax any potential constraints to growth.]]></description>

      <title>THE ABC'S OF EDI: THE ROLE OF ACTIVITY-BASED COSTING (ABC) IN DETERMINING EDI FEASIBILITY IN LOGISTICS ORGANIZATIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/469312</link>
      <description><![CDATA[To succeed in domestic and international markets shippers and carriers are developing strategies to compete on quality improvements, customer value, and cost reductions. Managers are implementing these strategies by forging supply chain relationships, adopting electronic data interchange (EDI), and improving service requirements. The underlying premise of these strategies is managers' ability to measure and manage cost data. Although research has implied that the benefits of EDI should drive its adoption, in actuality, managers faced with this decision often must determine its financial feasibility. The purpose of this article is to determine the drivers that will dictate when the EDI adoption decision will be determined using the activity-based costing (ABC) approach versus when the benefits alone will drive the adoption decision.]]></description>

      <title>THE ROLE OF TRANSPORTATION CAPABILITIES IN INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/483582</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Although definitions vary, supply chain structure is often considered to represent the organizational efforts by three or more firms to manage and integrate material and related information flows in order to get closer to customers. To minimize total costs and maximize customer value, transportation integration is essential within the supply chain. In general, integrative transportation involves getting the right assortments to the right place in perfect condition at the right time throughout the supply chain. Specifically, the supply chain structure defines and drives the transportation capabilities of time compression, reliability, standardization, just-in-time delivery, information systems support, flexibility, and customization. In this paper, each of these operational transportation capabilities is briefly discussed along with internal and external structural integration. This is followed by a description of the methodology used in this study to compare the supply chain structures and capabilities of about 2,000 firms from four industrialized nations: Australia, Japan, Korea, and the U.S.]]></description>
