| 摘要： | Pollution and congestion caused by port related truck traffic is usually estimated based on careful transportation modeling and simulation. In these efforts, however, attention is normally focused on trucks on their way from a terminal at the Los Angeles or Long Beach ports to a delivery point or on their way from a pick up point to a terminal. In general empty, repositioning routes, however, are generally discarded in the overall analysis of a trucks pollution and congestion impact, or at best a simple estimate is used instead. This is reasonable as long as it can be assumed that the drivers live very close to the port, a fact that may potentially change, however, in the near future. Namely if drivers will be required to deliver to and pick up from more distant inland ports - such as Victorville - instead of the ports. It is usually assumed that any inland port location, since it will reduce congestion at the ports automatically will lead to a reduction of congestion and pollution near the ports. Little, however, is so far known about the real impact a potential inland port site such as Victorville would have on pollution and congestion in the Southern California region. Also little is known about the potential subsequent behavior of trucking companies. |
