TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the challenges which need to be confronted when developing international freight transport models which are able to correspond to the described complexity of International freight transport, and they map out the most important research gaps that must be addressed by international freight transportation modelling research in order to ensure that the challenges identified are captured within the models developed to improve international freight Transport.
Freight transport models : ready to support transport policy of the future?
TL;DR: The traditional model-based approach is no longer capable of grasping developments in freight transport within an ever more rapidly changing world as mentioned in this paper, and it is unclear which approach would be appropriate for freight transport under these conditions.
Towards improved port capacity investment decisions under uncertainty: a real options approach
TL;DR: In this article, the capacity decision at a port is described as the "capacity decision is the deciding factor for a port's ability to attract flows to a region and retain them".
