FREIGHT TRANSPORT MODELLING

Freight Transport Modelling
The ongoing globalisation and importance of
flexibility in modern businesses have madetransport, together with business logistics, one of
the major functional domains of companies,
comparable to finance, accounting, and marketing.
This evolution is also fully reflected in transport
research, which is vivid, innovative and attracting
more and more attention.

Colloquium in memory ofProf. Marvin L. Manheim

4 – 6 October 2012
University of Antwerp
Colloquium organised by the
Department of Transport andRegional Economics (TPR)
University of Antwerp

Transport growth is a sine qua non for a continuous
economic growth but is not without problems.
External effects such as pollution, congestion,
accidents and damage to infrastructure generateconsiderable social costs which impose a heavy
burden on society.
Solving soundly and significantly those problems
asks for a new and broader analysis of transport.
This was already highlighted by the late Prof. Marvinth
L. Manheim during his opening speech of the 8World Conference on Transport Research(Antwerpen 1998) and in quite a few of his
publications. This colloquium will strive to elaborate
his message in a number of lectures by international
experts in the field and to push forward frontiers inmodelling freight transport.

Target group
The colloquium is intended for researchers active intransport economics in general, and in freighttransport modelling in particular. It guarantees
value added for experienced researchers anddoctoral students. The new evolutions in freighttransport modeling will also be of interest totransport decision‐makers in both government andindustry.

Marvin L. Manheim was the William A.
Patterson
Distinguished
ProfessorofTransportation at the Kellogg Graduate Schoolof Management at Northwestern University
from 1983 until his death in August 2000. Prof.
Manheimwas
also
associatedwithNorthwestern's
McCormick
SchoolofEngineeringandAppliedScience,
Transportation Center, Steel Resource Center,
Institute for Learning Studies, and Center for
the Study of United States/Japan Relations,and taught executive management programs at
Kellogg's James L. Allen Center. Prior to joining
the Kellogg School, he held faculty positions at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Prof. Manheim's major area of interest was
information technology and its uses
strategically,
competitively,andorganizationally.
It
includedstrategy
formulation and implementation processes;
the management of globally competingorganizations; and international transportationand logistics. He was also interested incomputer assistance to human problem solving
and decision making, including decision
support systems
(DSS)
and
artificial
intelligence.
Prof Marvin L. Manheim served as the firstchairman of the WCTRS, the World Conference
on Transportation Research Society. He gave
the opening lecture at the 8th WCTR. Whileorganising this conference, the Department ofTransport and Regional Economics got quite a
lot of help from Prof. Manheim.
