Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway Traffic Forecast Study. Summary Report.
Abstract
The primary objectives of this stydy are: (1) Develop a series of 60 year forecasts of U.S. and Canadian traffic which potentially may flow via the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway System. Estimated true origin and destination flows of this traffic were developed; (2) Conduct a survey of shippers and other shipping interests (both current and potential GL/SLS users) to determine their sensitivities to various service and cost factors as related to the determination of transport routings. (3) Develop a comprehensive route split computer model which utilizes the information developed in items 1 and 2 and which provides the capability of measuring changes in GL/SLS traffic flows under alternative conditions (e.g., navigation season extension); and (4) Provide the study documentation required for future use of the study results.
