Freight Network Modeling System. Volume VI. Rate simulation software user's guide

Technical Report · Mon Apr 01 00:00:00 EST 1985

OSTI ID:5663389

This report documents a program (RATE) that uses FNEM subroutines and the network data bases to simulate transportation rates. It also documents the modifications made to the Uniform Rail Costing System (URCS) developed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, to allow it to be used as a subroutine in RATE and FNEM. RATE, the network data and cost subroutines from FNEM are used to determine the costs and competition that carriers face in making a shipment. These data, in turn, are used to simulate rate-making.
