The article is devoted to the problem of assessing feasibility switching part road transport in areas adjacent Unified Deep-water System Russia delivery schemes using inland waterway transport. Container cargoes passing through seaports are considered as potential cargo flows. main directions these flows and their volumes determined. magnitude decrease average range calculated. conditions under...

Abstract The water level is a critical hydraulic parameter for inland ship safe navigation, as well an important variable in waterway transport minoring and assistant systems. As basic traditional method, the one-dimensional (1D) hydrodynamic model adapted to simulate river sections/waterway segments obtain levels numerically. However, friction factor, i.e., Manning’s coefficient n, sensitive 1...

Here we introduce a combined experimental and descriptive approach (termed resurrection ecology) to reconstructing historical perturbations, pointing out how direct tests with sediments and hatched resting eggs complement the traditional descriptive calculation of microfossil fluxes. In the Keweenaw Waterway, a freshwater estuary off Lake Superior, turn-of-the-century copper mining impacted the...

Sediment trend analysis (STA) is a technique that determines the net patterns of sediment movement and their dynamic behavior or stability. The data required are the complete particle size distributions obtained from bottom grab samples collected in a regular grid over the area of interest. Appendix 1 provides the particular details of how STA is undertaken. Because many contaminants are known ...

We examine spatial competition along a waterway when shippers are distributed over space. Competition is between barge and rail companies and among barge companies. Equilibrium prices are derived for two variations: oligopolistic rivalry between barge and rail operators, and oligopolistic rivalry among barge operators with terminals located at different points on the waterway. In the first vari...
