Capacity Modeling in Transportation: A Multimodal Perspective

A conceptual framework is presented for modeling the capacity of multimodal freight transportation networks. A review is provided on the evolution of capacity models for use in transportation systems planning and investment, and recent advances toward a system-oriented, multimodal capacity model are discussed in depth. A logical network capacity model based on bilevel programming is proposed.
