Estimating demand variables of maritime container transport: An aggregate procedure for the Mediterranean area

Author

  • Russo, Francesco
  • Musolino, Giuseppe

Abstract

Demand variables of maritime container transport (throughput, transhipment and origin–destination flows) may be estimated with freight demand models. As their parameters generally vary both in time and space, models may not be transferable to geographical areas and time periods differing from that for which they are calibrated.
