DEVELOPING AN INSTRUMENT TO DETERMINE AND ASSESS THE INFLUENCE OF A POLICY OF STATUTORY MEASURES. PART 1: CONTAINERISABLE FREIGHT FLOWS

AUFBAU EINES INSTRUMENTARIUMS ZUR ERMITTLUNG UND BEWERTUNG DES EINFLUSSES ORDNUNGSPOLITISCHER MASSNAHMEN. STUFE 1. CONTAINERISIERBARE GUETERSTROEME

A summary of a 407-page 2-volume survey ordered by the German Federal Minister of Transport. Its purpose is to use a simulation and decision-making model to investigate the effects of a policy of statutory measures on transport distribution in freight traffic, dealing only with containerisable freight. The considerations center on 7 statutory measures involving a price policy (increase in taxes, and reduction of differential prices in railway traffic). The analysis shows that such a policy of statutory measures only results in a relatively small transfer of traffic to the railway.
