Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The Port of Miami generates a tremendous amount of freight movement activity in South Florida. Virtually all of the land movement of this freight is currently handled by heavy trucks traveling through downtown Miami. The purpose of this research is to develop a predictive traffic model for the heavy freight truck movement generated by the port. The model is based on factors related to internal activity within the port, such as number of berth movements, types of vessels, and gantry crane activity.
