The question that this paper intends to answer is whether freight rates can be predicted accurately applying statistical and network methods.

The question that this paper intends to answer is whether freight rates can be predicted accurately applying statistical and network methods?

A freight rate prediction model based on normal distribution of present market frequency spreads projected to meet future supply and demand.

Freight markets are exclusive to each surface domain whether ground, air, water or a combination thereof. As a result, freight rate optimization must be implemented within an individual domain not only because the exercise takes place in a particular environment, but also, because the prerequisites…

Using discrete mathematics to describe the behavior of transportation networks has to include Riemannian geometry in consideration of geographical curved space and gradients. This issue alone can represent an immense challenge for developers who may be very competitive in computer science but not in…

In order to accommodate all concerning materials and still keep this paper length-readable it is made available in two parts. Freight rates in nodal format based on origin-destination published by carriers; leave out minor ports in the network. Using a minimal approach of 50 nodal points to cover…

By Alfonso LlanesOctober 10, 2016AbstractDifferent transportation theories were covered in part one of these papers,  therefore, part two will propose a new theory based on “waterways corridor” method to analyze freight rates and how these freight rates can be established by carriers. The principle…

Different transportation theories were covered in part one of these papers, therefore, part two will propose a new theory based on " waterways corridor " method to analyze freight rates and how these freight rates can be established by carriers. The principle proposed here is based on routing…

International trade is the inseparable companion of transportation and this paper will investigate in separate parts theory,, and the public organizations and NGO's that encompass international commerce. How cargo is classified not only for valuation of duties and taxation but for the efficient…
