Interregional Transportation Analysis and Civil Preparedness Planning.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is an attempt to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of alternative models for generating requirements for interregional freight transportation in context with production and consumption by region. This evaluation leads to recommendations for modifying existing models to accommodate the needs for transportation analysis, both at the national level and in regional and subregional detail. It is concluded that a feasibility type interregional input-output model has the best potential for analyzing freight transportation requirements in a recovery period as well as for analysis and projection of freight flows in general transportation planning. It is further recommended that a two-tier interregional model be constructed, the first tier dealing with regional detail with provision made for linking second-tier subregional models (as available) to the regional model. The feasibility of implementing the regional model for BEA economic regions is investigated. (Author)
