| Abstract | The main feature of recent national freight transport models in Europe is the incorporation of a logistic component (module) in the traditional freight demand-modelling framework (de Jong et al. 2013). Logistics decisions of firms are incorporated in the modelling process often based on shipment size optimization theory. According to this theory, firms are assumed to minimize total annual logistics costs by trading-off inventory holding costs, order costs and transport costs. The logistics module estimates frequency/shipment size choice and transport chain choice (i.e. transport mode choices and use of trans-shipment) based on a cost minimization model where firms are assumed to minimize annual total logistics costs. |
