Title: ANALYZING TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Accession Number: 00371746
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This paper describes a new version of the Timber Transport Model, which is a comprehensive route analysis and network optimization computer program developed to support land management planning in rural forest areas. The technique is generally applicable to transportation economic analysis in any rural setting and involves the transportation of resources or agricultural commodities in a many-to-few shipping pattern. The overall capabilities and problem size limits of the program are described. Program features are illustrated through a simple example. The technique is compared with the classical transshipment problem, with which it has certain features in common. The mathematical formulations used in the program are also presented. (Author)
