FREIGHT TRANSPORT. A SELECT LIST OF MATERIAL BASED ON THE DOE/DTP LIBRARY

This general introductory bibliography on freight transport has been compiled as a contribution to the Aslib Transport and Planning Group Seminar on "Freight Movement: Solving the Information Problems", held at Oxford Polytechnic, 3rd-4th April 1979. Although some earlier works are included the main focus is on developments since the transport policy consultation document was published in 1976 preceding the publication in 1977 of the white paper on transport policy. Reactions to the consultation document from several of the freight organisations are included in this bibliography. Section A, highlights DTP publications and includes a selection of TRRL reports relating to freight; section B brings together references to freight transport in general, prior to a consideration in section C of the different modes of freight transport (road; rail; ports and shipping; inland waterways; air freight; pipelines); some key policy considerations are considered in section D (safety, energy and environmental aspects) and a selection of material relating to freight transport in other countries is included in section E; section F lists some of the main statistical series relating to freight and in section G, some bibliographies, research lists and abstracting journals are included.
