REORIENT Implementation of Change in European Railway System Deliverable D6.1, Version 1.0February 11th, 2008
FiledFebruary 11th, 2008where xxx are data from the shipper survey for the levels of transport quality of typical shipment n with chosen mode i and xxx is a vector of parameters for corresponding predictor variables. Candidates of predictor variables may represent characteristics of the shipment lanes of the cases n. Distance is a characteristic that is correlated with several quality factors of the shipment lanes. We used GIS tools established in the REORIENT project to estimate the distance as the distance by road between NUTS zones of origin and destination of all shipment lanes n. We also included variables for the shares of truck-only, rail-based, and other transport solutions of the flows between
