Freight futures: The potential impact of road freight on climate policy [PDF]
Transportation Research, Part D: Transport and Environment, 2017 This paper describes changes to the modelling of the transport sector in the WITCH (World Induced Technical Change Hybrid) model to incorporate road freight and account for the intensity of freight with respect to GDP. Modelling freight demand based on the intensity of freight with respect to GDP allows for a focus on the importance of road freight ...
