    Uncertainty in traffic forecasts: literature review and new results for The Netherlands

    No full text
    This paper provides a review of transport model applications that not only provide a central traffic forecast (or forecasts for a few scenarios), but also quantify the uncertainty in the traffic forecasts in the form of a confidence interval or related measures. Both uncertainty that results from using uncertain inputs (e.g. on income) and uncertainty in the model itself are treated. The paper goes on to describe the methods used and the results obtained for a case study in quantifying uncertainty in traffic forecasts in The Netherlands.

    Estudo e aplicação de transporte colaborativo para cargas de grande volume

    Esta pesquisa objetiva realizar um estudo de "Transporte Colaborativo" para grandes volumes, especificamente para conjugação de cargas no transporte rodoviário. A proposta é desenvolver uma metodologia capaz de conciliar e flexibilizar as restrições impostas pelas janelas de tempo, de modo a interferir nos níveis hierárquicos de decisão, minimizando gastos em fretes e consolidando os conceitos de transporte colaborativo em uma aplicação real. No nível estratégico: contribuir no planejamento dos locais de armazenagem; no nível tático: determinar o momento e origem da retirada; e no nível operacional: tratar especificamente a execução da conjugação das cargas. A aplicação ocorre suportada por um banco de dados com 411.852 registros, utilizando modelagem matemática para um caso no agronegócio brasileiro. Os resultados obtidos são muito satisfatórios e projetarão redução no frete rodoviário da ordem de R12,7milho~esporano,nabasededadoscoletada,seametodologiaaquipropostaforimplantadaemsuaplenitude.<br>ThisresearchproposestocarryoutastudyofCollaborationTransportationoflargevolumes,especiallyforconjugationofcargoesinthetruckingtransportation.Thisworkpresentsacapablemethodologytoreconciletheneedsofthetransportwiththeimposedtimewindowsrestraints,comingtohelpinthoserestraintstointerfereinhierarchythedecisionlevels.Theinterfaceinthestrategiclevelistocontributeintheplanningtimeofstorage;thetacticalplanninglevelistodeterminationofthetimewindowsandorigin;theoperationallevelisthespecificoperationfromtheconjugationoftheshipments.Theavailableprimarydatabasefortheapplicationtothiscasepossesses411.852thatsupporttheapplicationstudyinusingamathematicalmodel.Theresultsobtainedwereverysatisfactory.ThoseresultsprojectafreightreductionaboutR 12,7 milhões por ano, na base de dados coletada, se a metodologia aqui proposta for implantada em sua plenitude.<br>This research proposes to carry out a study of Collaboration Transportation of large volumes, especially for conjugation of cargoes in the trucking transportation. This work presents a capable methodology to reconcile the needs of the transport with the imposed time windows restraints, coming to help in those restraints to interfere in hierarchy the decision levels. The interface in the strategic level is to contribute in the planning time of storage; the tactical planning level is to determination of the time windows and origin; the operational level is the specific operation from the conjugation of the shipments. The available primary database for the application to this case possesses 411.852 that support the application study in using a mathematical model. The results obtained were very satisfactory. Those results project a freight reduction about R 12,7 million per year, in the database available, if the methodology will be totally established
