Описание: Much work has been done on port governance yet little has addressed inter-modal terminal governance, despite the clear similarities. This book fills that gap by establishing a governance framework for situating analysis of inter-modal terminals throughout their life cycle.

For close to 100 years, America's surface freight industries, primarily rail and trucking, operated under the protective wing of the U.S. government. In 1980 Congress, finding vast inefficiencies in the two industries, substantially deregulated both, opening them at last to market competition.
Deregulation has brought with it many changes--for firms within the industries, for their labor force, and for shippers and their customers. Clifford Winston, Thomas M. Corsi, Curtis M. Grimm, and Carol A Evans provide a comprehensive evaluation of the effect of the deregulation legislation on the rail and trucking industries.
According to the authors, deregulation has made substantial progress in solving the two most vexing problems of the surface freight transportation industry--excessive rates in the trucking industry and insufficient returns on investment in the rail industry. Competition and efficiency have returned to both industries, and although the labor force in each has suffered wage and job losses, shippers and their customers have gained roughly $20 billion a year in benefits. The authors recommend policies that would continue to promote competition and the efficient use of highway and railway infrastructure.

Описание: Transportation is important. It is about people and how they live their lives, how they get to work, how they get their children to school, how they buy food, clothes, and other necessities, and how families visit one another around the country. It is also about business. Transportation is critical to how the supply chain functions, how raw materials get to factories, how goods get to market, how food gets from farmers to kitchen tables, and how energy products move from areas of production to areas of consumption. An efficient national transportation network allows business to lower transportation costs, which lowers production costs and enhances productivity and profits. It allows American business to be competitive in the global marketplace and for the Nations economy to prosper and grow. One need only look at the Interstate Highway System to see how that investment in the transportation network has benefited the nation and encouraged tremendous economic growth over the past two generations. This book discusses findings and recommendations made by the Special Panel on 21st century freight transportation, as well as federal freight policies.

Описание: Freight Transport and the Modern Economy adapts a well-known textbook by Michel Savy, revising, extending and updating it for British, European and international readers. It deals not only with the technical aspects of transport, logistics and supply chain management, but also the interactions between transport professionals and the public authorities in the modern social, political, economic and environmental context. The transport of freight is presented as a system, mixing empirics and theory, showing how transport itself functions and also its strong influence on the modern economy, with a growing volume of production, turnover and employment. The nature of freight transport, an industrial process widely marketed as a service, is analysed in depth, explaining the main characteristics of the transport operation, its market and the regulatory context. The main actors, the professional actors (carriers, shippers and other agents) and the public authorities are introduced, and their behaviour and interactions are clarified. This comprehensive approach allows the reader to go further and consider in particular the approaches and practices of transport by carriers, customers, logistics managers, political decision makers and citizens, to tackle long range issues such as the ‘decoupling’ of production and transport recommended by some institutions and experts, and to explore the need for more infrastructure, or the capacity of the freight transport industry to reduce its contribution to pollution and climate change. This book treats freight transport as a whole system in its technical, economic, social, political and environmental context, in contrast to existing transport literature focused on individual aspects, such as transportation planning (usually for cars or passengers), logistics (essentially management issues), or individual transport modes. This book is comprehensive in its treatment of freight transport and in its use of multiple disciplinary perspectives.

Intermodal Freight Transportation conceptualizes intermodal transport as a set of physical, logical, financial and contractual flows, examining the barriers that impact intermodal freight services and the resulting performance variables.
Intermodal Freight Transportation begins by discussing the overall freight transport market, covering transport modes, agents, as well as supply and demand patterns. It looks at the key drivers and trends influencing the freight transportation sector, analyzing the evolution of supply and logistics chains and the impacts of technological advancements such as autonomous vehicles and e-commerce.
The book looks at transport agents such as shippers, freight forwarders, integrators, and customs, as well as the demand for freight transport services and the key properties of goods. It examines key transport chains, comparing intermodal, multimodal, and combined transport concepts and architectures.
Intermodal Freight Transportation offers new tools for analyzing and building effective transport chains, depicting them as a set of component technology, information, responsibility, and financing dimension. It discusses the key organizational, regulatory, infrastructure, and technological barriers, focusing on measuring global performance and metrics. The book concludes with a look into the future of the freight transport sector.
Step-by-step approach introduces key topics for understanding efficient intermodal transportation
Based on the concept of fitness between the modes of transport profiles
Numerous real-world cases throughout
Examines performance metrics
