Final Report: Transportation Profiles for MAFC Commodities
Researchers recently completed the Transportation Profiles for MAFC Commodities (MAFC 10) project and issued a final report.
This project developed information on the flow of commodities through the MAFC region. Part one developed two commodities in depth with narratives and illustrations to demonstrate the importance of efficient transportation to the industry along with some of the issues that influence the decisions made by shippers and carriers as they move product. Part two disaggregated Freight Analysis Framework information and assigned the commodities to routes. Part three developed a micro-simulations of commodities based on freight volume, economic activity and probabilities.
