Development of a Logistics Price File. Executive Summary.
Abstract
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Central Division maintains a Route Split Model for forecasting projected traffic on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway System. The three principal data inputs to the model are: (1) forecasts of potential flow into and out of the Great Lakes 'hinterland'; (2) relative service attributes of Great Lakes and competitive routes; and (3) rate attributes of Great Lakes and competitive routes. The rate data base, noted above, is referred to as a Logistics Price File. This data base contains all the freight rate data required to allocate rate-sensitive traffic to either a Great Lakes or a competitive route. The Executive Summary provides an overview of: (1) structure of the Logistics Price File (LPF); (2) study approach; (3) validation techniques; and (4) study conclusions. Project output included development of a rate calculator model. (Author)
