abstract:
This paper presents a model to simulate the freight demand flow of containers on
an international scale, considering as a reference area the Mediterranean basin.
The models specified and calibrated represent a development of models used
in the literature and they are applied to assess the effects of modifications on the
configuration of the national transport system. The modifications correspond to
different exogenous scenarios, relative to national and international socioeconomic
and demographic variables.
Some results emerge from the analysis of the calibrated models, in particular
concerning the importance of the different maritime services for import and
export
