Abstract
Two issues are addressed in this paper: (1) How to reconstruct the product-specific path information based on the link and transfer flows that result from a nonlinear, multimodal, multiproduct network optimization formulation and (2) how to use this information efficiently for various path analyses for transportation planning purposes. The paper also touches upon the challenge of introducing a major development into a mature and complex software such as the STAN decision support system for the strategic analysis and planning of multimodal multiproduct freight transportation. Results from actual applications are used to illustrate the path analysis capabilities of STAN.
