Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleApplication of Multiple Imputations to Freight Transportation Survey Data: A Case Study of Commodity Flow SurveyTerdsak Rongviriyapanich, Akachut SuppiyatrakulProblem statement: Freight transportation data was indispensable input to transportation planning. In Thailand, efforts had been put to collect freight movement data by conducting road side survey and commodity flow survey. The results of these surveys did not produce consistent volume of shipment due to limited sampling coverage and non-response. Nevertheless, freight distribution patterns, which were derived from these surveys, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,481 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of Interregional Freight Generation Modelling Methods by using Nationwide Commodity Flow Survey DataWirach HirunA trip generation model is one of the four parts of the classical transport planning model, which explores the volume of trip or freight at the originating and destination points of a traffic analysis zone. The process of calibrating a trip generation model needs appropriate data. Freight transport data are always robust and a powerful calibration technique is required to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2016 · 8,113 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Geometric and Environmental Parameters in Reuse of Deactivated Railway for LRV ImplantationIsabelle S. Sales, Gislaine Santos, Jordan H. Souza, Ana StephanA portion of the origin-destination matrix of freight transport in Brazil corresponds to the railway mode; however, a small part of the matrix of passengers is represented by the modalities that use railway lines. The country has an extensive railway network, mainly in the southeast, but some parts are deactivated. This article aims to present a study of the possibility … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2017 · 8,341 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison between Different Data Mining Algorithms in Freight Mode ChoiceAmir Samimi, Hesamoddin Razi-Ardakani, Amir NohekhanThis research aims to study application of support vector machine algorithm, artificial neural networks and five different types of decision trees in predicting mode choice of freight transportation. Performance of these models has been compared with log it model which is one the most prevalent statistical models in the field. Effect of factors such as cargo weight, distance, type and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,626 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Interregional Commodity FlowsWirach Hirun, Sompong SirisoponsilpProblem statement: Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) was launched to collect comprehensive freight flow data throughout the kingdom of Thailand. The survey’s database is the most complete collection of commodity flow data in Thailand. The need to reveal interregional freight characteristics using available data from the CFS led to the objectives of this research. Approach: An origin destination matrix based on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,928 accessesView PDF Cite
