Modeling freight demand and shipper behavior: state of the art, future directions

This paper presents a review and synthesis of research in the fields of freight demand and shipper behavior modeling. Different approaches to freight demand modeling are presented along with their advantages/disadvantages. These models are divided according to the nature of data required and geographical scope into aggregate, disaggregate, international, intercity (interregional), and urban. The authors then examine research in shipper behavior modeling and discuss emerging issues and opportunities in that field. The authors examine the opposing forces of disintermediation and disintegration that in one case resist and in the other support the development and expansion of the market for third party providers of logistics and transportation services.
