| 摘要： | The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has accelerated the rate of growth between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Tremendous quantities of goods now flow between these three trading partners, mostly transported by truck. Texas, because of its geographic location, serves as the principal land-side gateway to Mexico, and, as a consequence, hosts truck traffic from all over the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. This truck traffic is beginning to dominate certain Texas highways. It costs the state large sums of money to maintain the condition of the affected roadways. The current research is aimed at determining whether non-traditional systems can alleviate the congestion and wear problem by shifting truck-carried goods to an alternative mode. Freight-conveying pipelines are being evaluated in this context. |
