Brief description Freight Transport and the Environment. Freight transport is a major contributor to traffic congestion and environmental blight in urban areas and adds sizeable costs to final consumption and the terms of trade, yet we currently lack any policy-rich predictive demand models. This program fills this gap. Using ideas from supply chain alliance, stated choice methods and behavioural models we develop a research program to understand and predict the environmental and traffic impacts of the freight distribution task for key commodity classes in respect of origin, destination, trip timing, routing, selection of vehicle type and the way that consolidation is undertaken in freight distribution.
