Projecting the Demand for Ohio River Basin Waterway Traffic Using Correlation and Regression.
Abstract
This report to the Corps of Engineers describes one of three independent but complementary studies of future freight traffic on the Ohio River Basin Navigation System. Each of the studies considers existing waterborne commerce and develops a consistent set of projections of future traffic demands of all of the navigable waterways of the basin. Each report contains information on past and present waterborne commerce in the basin and projections by commodity group and origin-destination areas from 1975 to at least 1990. The three study projections, in conjunction with other analytical tools and system information, will be used to evaluate specific waterway improvement to meet short and long-term navigation needs. The output from these studies will serve as input to Corp's Inland Navigation Simulation Models to help analyze the performance and opportunities for improvement of the Ohio River Basin Navigation System. These data will be used current studies relating to improvement of Gallipolis Locks, the Monongahela River, the Upper Ohio River, the Kanawha River, the Lower Ohio River, the Cumberland River and the Tennessee River, as well as other improvements.
