Description

Logistics Transportation Systems compiles multiple topics on transportation logistics systems from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives, providing detailed examples of real-world logistics workflows. It explores the key concepts and problem-solving techniques required by researchers and logistics professionals to effectively manage the continued expansion of logistics transportation systems, which is expected to reach an estimated 25 billion tons in the United States alone by 2045. This book provides an ample understanding of logistics transportation systems, including basic concepts, in-depth modeling analysis, and network analysis for researchers and practitioners. In addition, it covers policy issues related to transportation logistics, such as security, rules and regulations, and emerging issues including reshoring.This book is an ideal guide for academic researchers and both undergraduate and graduate students in transportation modeling, supply chains, planning, and systems. It is also useful to transportation practitioners involved in planning, feasibility studies, consultation and policy for transportation systems, logistics, and infrastructure.

Key features

  • Provides real-world examples of logistics systems solutions for multiple transportation modes, including seaports, rail, barge, road, pipelines, and airports
  • Covers a wide range of business aspects, including customer service, cost, and decision analysis
  • Features key-term definitions, concept overviews, discussions, and analytical problem-solving

Readership

1) Academic researchers and graduate students in transportation modeling, supply chains, planning and systems; 2) transportation practitioners involved in planning, feasibility studies, consultation and policy for transportation systems, logistics, or infrastructure; 3) transportation public officials such as city managers, policy directors, etc.
