Supply chain elements in freight transport modelling

Abstract This editorial introduces the papers of a special issue of the journal on freight transport modelling. Together, 9 papers present recent advances in 3 key areas of descriptive and predictive freight modelling: activity chaining, joint modelling of choices and segmentation of users. Next to a methodological contribution in one of these 3 areas, several papers also present empirical findings that are of broader relevance for different choice problems, industries and countries.
