Navigating Spatial Inequities in Freight Truck Crash Severity via Counterfactual Inference in Los Angeles [PDF]

arXiv
Freight truck-related crashes pose significant challenges, leading to substantial economic losses, injuries, and fatalities, with pronounced spatial disparities across different regions. This study adopts a transport geography perspective to examine spatial justice concerns by employing deep counterfactual inference models to analyze how socioeconomic ...

An Optimization Model for Scheduling Freight Trains on a Single Rail Track [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In many countries, a rail network consists of single lines with sidings where interactions between trains occur (meet, pass). In this paper, we study two issues of these networks: first, the scheduling of freight trains in a single line corridor while ensuring safe interactions and second, the allocation of freight to freight trains regarding the ...

Assessing the Effects of Container Handling Strategies on Enhancing Freight Throughput [PDF]

arXiv
As global supply chains and freight volumes grow, the U.S. faces escalating transportation demands. The heavy reliance on road transport, coupled with the underutilization of the railway system, results in congested highways, prolonged transportation times, higher costs, and increased carbon emissions.
