Performance Measures for Freight Transportation by Anonim Pdf
"This report presents a comprehensive, objective, and consistent set of measures to gauge the performance of the freight transportation system. These measures are presented in the form of a Freight System Report Card, which reports information in three formats, each increasingly detailed, to serve the needs of a wide variety of users from decision makers at all levels to anyone interested in assessing the performance of the nation's freight transportation system."--Pub. desc.
Measuring Performance in Freight Transport. a Structured Literature Review by Nicolas Eschenbach Pdf
Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1, Vienna University of Economics and Business (Informationsverarbeitung & Prozessmanagement), language: English, abstract: Changing economic conditions and increasing competition forced many companies to extend their supply, production and distribution networks towards global approaches. This led to an increase in the importance of freight transport. In consequence, freight carriers are currently required to provide either cost or time efficient solutions to a wide range of industries. In order to select appropriate modes of transport or suitable carriers, enterprises must consider their performance beforehand. Moreover, carriers must be precisely aware of their own performance at any time. Consequently, performance measurement and the definition of suitable performance metrics plays an essential role in freight transport. In practice, companies have to face an extensive variety of indicators that can be used to assess performance in freight transport. Studies prove that there is lack of consistency in the usage of metrics. At the same time, researchers have to cope with wide range of available literature that discusses performance evaluation in freight transportation which is, though, often limited to specific areas of application. In this thesis a structured literature review (SLR) is carried out which has the objective to systematically find out how companies measure performance in intermodal, road, rail, air, and maritime freight transport. The conceptual findings of this SLR provide a list of 1742 metrics from the literature that can either be applied for one or several modes of freight transport. In addition, 47 different ways how KPIs can be classified are identified. The SLR proves that operational performance indicators mainly regard time, distance and available equipment. Strategic metrics focus on costs levels, the change of costs over time, ra

Developing Appropriate Freight Performance Measures for Emerging Users by Michael Schofield,Robert Harrison Pdf
Federal and state transportation planning and policy has begun to focus on highway performance measurement, balancing goals, performance measures and measurement. The push toward performance measurement first focused on passenger vehicles, largely ignoring the measurement of freight-related (truck) performance. The period since 2000 has seen a handful of DOTs examining broad indicators of efficient freight movement, but as of yet, there was no definitive work in the area until a 2003 FHWA funded project began to look into various freight tracking technologies to develop freight performance measures (FPMs), finally selecting a GPS technology widely adopted by U.S motor carriers. At the time of this study report, the FHWA study worked on data manipulation and graphical representation of highway speeds, but has yet to use the data for alternative performance measures or examine the possibility of using the truck respondents as probe vehicles for real-time ITS applications. The purpose of this report is to develop a set of universal FPMs, as well as looking into various applications, both real-time and long-term planning, for the truck GPS data collected as part of the FHWA study.

Performance Measurement of Transportation Systems by Anonim Pdf
Each track consisted of a plenary session followed by three concurrent breakout sessions. These proceedings follow the conference format, with the plenary sessions and the breakout sessions for each of the five tracks presented in chronological order. The breakout sessions and the closing session gave participants the opportunity to provide ideas and suggestions on further research, technology transfer, and training. Research topics identified for potential consideration are listed in the section on concluding remarks. The conference also featured an interactive poster session. Summaries provided by the poster authors are presented in Appendix A. The conference attracted 130 participants from Canada, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, South Africa, and the United States, and featured transportation specialists who offered real-world expertise on the application of performance metrics and case studies.
"TRB's National Cooperative Freight Research Program (NCFRP) Report 25: Freight Data Sharing Guidebook provides a series of guidelines for sharing freight data, primarily between public and private freight stakeholders.

Handbook on Applying Environmental Benchmarking in Freight Transportation by Laurence O'Rourke Pdf
"NCFRP Report 21: Handbook on Applying Environmental Benchmarking in Freight Transportation identifies and evaluates approaches that can be used by public and private entities to estimate, monitor, and reduce freight emissions and impacts across the supply chain by examining how benchmarking can be used as a management tool in the freight and logistics industry to promote environmental performance. The handbook provides a step-by-step overview of the benchmarking process and describes a framework for applying this process to freight carriers, shippers, and freight hubs"--Foreword.
Freight Transportation Planning Practices in the Public Sector by Matthew A. Coogan Pdf
This synthesis describes the process by which state departments of transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) integrate freight planning into the surface transportation planning process. It will be of interest to state and MPO planners, port planners; traffic engineers; and to the trucking, rail, and shipping interests in both the public and private sectors. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses the requirements for freight planning resulting from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) with particular emphasis on the development of an intermodal management system (IMS). In addition, that act narrowed the application of the congestion management system (CMS), which is also discussed in the synthesis. Since enactment of that legislation, another act, the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 was passed and makes the IMS optional rather than mandatory. This has not changed the philosophy or the intent of these planning applications, but it has changed the implementation aspects. Many agencies, however, are continuing with the IMS and CMS planning process. This report describes the methods used by selected agencies for forecasting freight flows, data collection practices, and the techniques for integrating freight planning into the established surface transportation planning processes at the state and regional levels.
