Development of a Logistics Price File
Development of a Logistics Price File
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Central Division, maintains a Route Split Model for forecasting projected traffic on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway System. This model allocates cargo on the basis of determined shipper sensitivities to various service and cost factors. The Logistics Price File data base contains all the freight rate data required to allocate rate-sensitive traffic to either a Great Lakes or a competitive route. The Technical Report describes and documents the study approach. The first phase was development of a rate calculator model capable of producing any land or water freight rate based on the origin and destination points and commodity characteristics. The second phase involved developing techniques to produce through rates compatible with the geographic and commodity specifications of the Route Split Model. The rate calculator model develops the level of freight rates from regression analysis of actual freight rates. The most significant variables or factors are distance, stowage factor, value perton, ocean conference, and rail rate territory. (Author)
