• Description:
  This research develops a model for estimating future barge and rail rates for decision making. The Box-Jenkins and the Regression Analysis with ARIMA errors forecasting methods were used to develop appropriate models for determining future rates. A software tool was developed based on the model which allows the user to input minimal data and be presented with future barge and rail rates upon which shipping costs cna be projected.
