Abstract:

This project strives to introduce a novel way to quantify the broad re-organization benefits associated with an ; improvement in the freight infrastructure. Using the approach based on 1) the technique known as Field of Influence, and ; 2) RAS adjustment of input-output account, the benefits of reducing truck congestion in urban areas are estimated with ; and without the re-organization effects. Both approaches are applied to various urban areas in the upper Midwest to ; evaluate their broad applicability and to investigate the relationship between the estimated benefits and the economic ; structure and size.
