Methodological Alternatives for a Regional Freight Model

The main objective of this report is to conduct an assessment of the different freight
transportation modeling methodologies. The report begins with a definition of the main
objectives and scope of the regional freight model, followed by a discussion of the main freight
transportation issues in the NYMTC region, and the potential role of the regional freight model.
The main methodological alternatives are discussed next. This includes a brief description of the
different models and a preliminary assessment of: (a) data requirements, (b) staff requirements;
(c) computing power required; (d) adequacy to NYMTC?s conditions; (e) practicality; and (f)
conceptual validity. The final section presents a summary of the key findings of this project.
