Book Chapter Description

The choice of the mode of transport is one of the most commonly modeled choice problems in freight transport. Already in the 1970s, US scholars developed aggregate mode choice models to predict the shares of modes under various transport policy scenarios. These models still constitute the state of practice around the world today. Microeconomic theory and choice theory have become the mainstream basis for state of the art empirical, disaggregate, econometric models. During the past decades, more and more advanced theoretical and empirical models have appeared, including models based on alternative choice paradigms, models recognizing broader logistics cost components like inventory costs and models combining related choices like shipment size choice and route choice.
