• Abstract:
  In this paper, a model simulates the changing patterns of coal distribution resulting from disruptions on the waterway network at specified Ohio River locks. The paper portrays the extensive geographic and intermodal connectivity of coal shipments in the U.S., and demonstrates how disruptions at even a single node on the network can manifest in dramatic changes throughout the nationwide network.
