Road freight transportation between provinces of a country has an important effect on the traffic flow of intercity transportation networks. Therefore, an accurate estimation of the road freight transportation for provinces of a country is so crucial to improve the rural traffic operation in a largescale management. Accordingly, the focused case study database in this research is the informatio...

Freight tram systems can potentially reduce commercial road vehicle use and, consequently, congestion, accidents, air pollution, noise levels, and maintenance costs. This paper explores the new application for urban rail system as a sustainable solution freight distribution. A significant problem in using is determining most efficient route, terms of related costs accessibility distribution cen...

The rail freight carload service segment enables the distribution of freight volumes down to the unit of single rail cars, and stand as an important alternative to road transportation. However, this service segment is often associated with significant uncertainties and variations in daily freight volumes. Such uncertainties are challenging to manage since operating plans generally are establish...
