The Impact of Fracking on Freight Distribution Patterns
| 项目名称： | The Impact of Fracking on Freight Distribution Patterns |
| 摘要： | The increasing production of domestic energy through the use of fracking will likely alter local/regional/national economies and corresponding freight distribution patterns (highway, rail, marine, pipeline) in the United States (U.S.) The proposed project will assess the impact of fracking on freight transportation demand and corresponding distribution patterns, for the purpose of identifying where the system is or will become overly stressed (in addition to identifying where excess capacity has been created due to shifts in freight transportation patterns). This will be achieved by deploying a methodology in which multiple future scenarios are defined in terms of fracking activity and energy consumption, each scenario is analyzed according to the resulting freight distribution across modal networks using a routing tool developed under a prior National Center for Freight & Infrastructure Research and Education (CFIRE) initiative, and the results evaluated according to specific performance measures. |
