Efficient movement of freight within the United States and across its borders is a critical enabler of future U.S. economic growth. The authors provide an overview of the freight-transportation system and the problems it faces, concluding with a discussion of key system-modernization issues, including increasing capacity, making the system less vulnerable to disruption, addressing environmental concerns, and building support for funding.

In this book, the business of international freight forwarding is examined from both a theoretical and empirical point of view with a special emphasis on multimodal transport chains, including sea or air transport operations. In such contexts, the freight forwarder is always considered "The Architect of Transport", but this intermediary role seems to be largely neglected in research to date. Therefore, relevant concepts from economic theory and economic sociology are employed to produce both an intermediary and a network perspective of freight forwarding in order to provide a better understanding of this kind of transportation business. Furthermore, its intermediary role in such inherent network structures is explored by mapping relationship patterns in a stylized model framework applied to a questionnaire-based sample collected among freight forwarders engaged in such multimodal transport chains in Germany (especially from Hamburg, Bremen and Bremerhaven) as well as in Austria in 2003.

Issue 06 Jan-Feb-Mar 2015 Physical Mesomechanics And Spectrum Of Metal Surface Layer Excitation At Friction Process With Heavy Loading A.Kh. Janahmadov, N.G. Javadov The paper reviews the physical mesomechanics of structurally inhomogeneous media, developed on the verge of continuum mechanics (macro-level) and physics of plasticity and strength of deformable solids (micro-level). According to the concept of the structural level of deformation, at friction the surface layer of deformable solids is an independent leading functional subsystem. It is shown that with an increase of the deformation level of material, it develops autonomous processes (plasticity waves) inside, which have a significant impact on the staginess of plasticity flow localization and the destruction of contacting bodies, at the meso-level the deformation has a transitional-rotational character. Influence Of Wingtips On Induced Drag Force Of Rectangular Wing R.M. Jafarzade, M.H. Ilyasov, J.N. Huseynli The paper examines the influence of wingtips on the inductive resistance of rectangular wing through the mathematical model based on the distribution of vortices. Assuming that the free vortices originate at the wingtips – the imaginary Π-shape vortex diagram is built above the wing at the height of wingtips. The air is considered to be incompressible. Referring to the Biot-Savart formula, the expression for the inductive velocity, generated by the free vortices, and their average values along the wingspan are found. The induced drag force and its co- efficient are determined through the average bevel angle of flow. The inductive drag force is analytically proven. Application Of Coordination Polymers To Increase The Reservoir Oil Recovery B.T. Usubaliev, E.E. Ramazanova, F.T. Murvatov, E.N. Aliyev, Y.S. Salakhova, M.K. Munshieva, F.B. Aliyev, A.K. Rzaeva It is first time when an application of composite materials, BAF-1 BAF-2, on the basis of the co- ordination polymers is studied to improve the rheological properties of crude oil. It has been established that composite materials reduce the oil viscosity by 60-70% and also have a positive effect on other properties. Relaxation Of The Non-Equilibrium Field Effect In In2O3-SiO2-Si-SiO2-Al Structures At The Non-Equilibrium Depletion Regimes A.Z. Badalov, Sh.G. Zeynalova The article studies in detail the effect of various factors on the screening time of In2O3-SiO2- Si-SiO2-Al structures, the influence of the lighting temperature, and the supply voltage on the duration of the non-equilibrium non-stationary depletion process. It is also examines the dependence of the current depolarization on the power supply impulse duration with and without exposure to the LED light. The Theoretical Analysis Of Crude Oil Vapour Pressure And Cavitational Technologies Studying Of Physical And Chemical Properties Of Transported Oil In The Course Of Cavitation S.K. Gezalov We have worked out the criterion of fuzzy interval for minimizing target function with fuzzy coefficient. The given criterion shows adaptability of genetic algorithms for building pare-to-optimal solutions of multi-objective problem of transport logistics with fuzzy coefficient of objectives.

This is the 8th report from the Transport Committee (HCP 249, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780215521941) and focuses on freight transport. The Committee has set out 29 recommendations, including: that the Government needs to adopt a more proactive freight strategy, given there are significant economic and transport benefits to be gained; the Department of Transport should produce a national freight plan, setting out aspirations for the reduction in congestion and transport emissions, freight infrastructure and job opportunities and the development of future technologies that maybe beneficial for the freight business; that rail and water freight must be able to compete on a an equal footing with road transport; that the Government could do more to encourage waterborne freight transport; that Network Rail must recognise the importance of freight instead of treating it as the poor relation of passenger services; that the Government needs to engage with European freight schemes to ensure that UK business is not disadvantaged and further, highlight the importance of the UK air freight operators' competiveness with continental operators; the Government needs to discuss a way forward with the UK haulier industry, which the Committee sees as being unfairly treated through subsidising their continental competitors through high levels of taxation on fuel.

These proceedings contain research presented at the 6th International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics, held in February 2018.The integration of dynamics within the modeling, planning and control of logistic processes and networks has shown to contribute massively to the improvement of the latter. Moreover, diversification of markets and demand has increased both the complexity and the dynamic changes of problems within the area of logistics. To cope with these challenges, it must become possible to identify, describe and analyze such process changes. Moreover, logistic processes and networks must be revised to be rapidly and flexibly adaptable to continuously changing conditions. This book presents new ideas to solve such problems, offering technological, algorithmic and conceptual improvements. It primarily addresses researchers and practitioners in the field of industrial engineering and logistics.
