A DSS FOR MODELLING LOGISTICS CHAINS IN FREIGHT TRANSPORT POLICY ANALYSIS. IN: TRANSPORT LOGISTICS
This paper describes the background and the intermediate results of a project aimed at the development of a new decision support system (DSS) for public and private decision makers in the transport and logistics sector. The model being constructed, SMILE (Strategic Model for Integrated Logistic Evaluations), is a joint effort of the Transport Research Centre of the Ministry of Transport and the research organizations NEI (Netherlands Economic Institute) and TNO Inro. The applicability of the model for exploring the possible effects of transport policy and changes in logistic organization of companies and through these on the corresponding freight flows is discussed along with the design of the information system, covering the specification of the underlying models, the graphical interface by means of which the scenarios in SMILE can be prepared, and the database.
