Modeling Commercial Vehicle Empty Trips: Theory and Application

This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive discussion of the theoretical developments pertaining to commercial vehicle empty trip models, the corresponding estimation procedures, empirical evidence, and practical implications of modeling empty trips. The paper also describes new mathematical formulations to model commercial vehicle empty trips. In doing so, it expands and synthesizes the previous research on the subject.
