Chapter 2Contextual outline

Reiche, Sascha

Pages: 9 –35

[A first overview on the German freight transport context will help to globally size the field of study. It is encompassed through different perspectives to measure the central element – the transport volume – as well as to identify suitable system boundaries and relevant actors.]

Chapter 3Freight transport modelling

Reiche, Sascha

Pages: 37 –74

[A starting point of modelling is the presence or expected occurrence of a system’s condition which a planning institution wants to influence (ARNOLD, 2008, p. 36). In this sense, the aim of a transport model is to make transparent the interacting or interdependent components of a real transport...

Chapter 4Framework for a disaggregate German freight transport model

Reiche, Sascha

Pages: 75 –85

[The conceptual framework, as proposed hereinafter, follows the identified role of logistic interactions in a national freight transport market. The result is a disaggregate microscopic modelling concept that focusses on specific decision makers – an encompassing set of individual firms....

Chapter 5Realisation of the disaggregate German freight transport model

Reiche, Sascha

Pages: 87 –249

[The realisation of the German freight transport model follows the proposed structure, including a section for freight generation, freight distribution and combined modal split and network assignment.]

Chapter 6Résumé

Reiche, Sascha

Pages: 251 –272

[As a result of the model’s implementation and calibration, several interpretations of the overall outcome as well as suggestions for future developments are conceivable.]
