Highway Performance and Time-Sensitive Industries

This report addresses delays to freight shippers. Although the focus is on just-in-time (JIT) businesses, the authors also note that non JIT businesses also suffer delays that impact their productivity. The table of contents lists the following headings: CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION - A trial application: the Des Moines metropolitan area; Structure of the report; CHAPTER 2 - RELIABILITY AT THE FOREFRONT OF FREIGHT TRANSPORT DEMAND - Manufacturing and inventory; Just-in-time operations in the U.S.; Transportation consequences; Summary; CHAPTER 3 - JIT OPERATIONS IN IOWA - Survey and sample; Trucking activity and service; Just-in-time truck transportation in Iowa; Assessment of factors affecting truck transportation service; Summary and conclusions; CHAPTER 4 - TRAVEL TIME UNCERTAINTY INDUCED BY INCIDENTS - A probabilistic model for incident occurrences and durations; Calculation of delay; Trial application; Conclusions; and CHAPTER 5 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS - Conclusions; Recommendations.
