Freight Transportation Planning



Freight Transportation Planning

Idea of the Project and Identification of the Problem

The main principle of this study is to describe how scheduled service network design is used in freight transportation planning and engineering in creating the successful and sustainable infrastructure, architecture, and construction of transportation network. This is because the transportation networks are the fundamental part of the advancement and sustainability of the neighbourhoods, cities, and regions. Moreover, this study intends to provide the operating plan which can enable the freight transportation system to become time sensitive as well as easy accessibility to move around the locality. The study aims to expound that the efficient planning and engineering of transportation networks ostensibly contribute in reducing the vehicle miles travel. However, the transportation planners and designers need to focus on reducing the travel time at the time of designing, planning, and engineering the effective transportation network. The research is primarily based upon the planning of freight transportation as the growing business needs require the reliable transportation network for the smooth flow of business activities (Regan, 2004).

The researches intend to produce an operating plan at the tactical level for the engineering of freight transportation. In this concern, the planned service network design has been used which applies the freight transportation network model to manage the flow of cars and other carriers effectively. The carefully planned transportation network aims to integrate the country across all of the cities, neighbourhoods, towns, and regions which make the flow of transportation easy (CNU Transportation Summit, 2008).

Problems That Project Will Solve In Brief

The study holds the great significance as it intends to help in describing the use of scheduled service network design in assisting freight forwarders in scheduling and routing their transportation in the timely manner. The designing of transportation model will help in reducing the ...
