Strategic planning of national<br />
and regional freight transportation<br />
<strong>STAN</strong> is an interactive-graphic planning tool which responds to the needs of shippers and carriers to efficiently evaluate the<br />
impact of major changes in the transport infrastructure, regulatory environment and demand patterns on their cost, time, reliability<br />
and other performance measures.<br />
<strong>STAN</strong> provides a flexible and general framework for the representation of the infrastructure and the modelling of the activities of<br />
multimodal and multiproduct freight transportation or distribution systems.<br />
<strong>STAN</strong> is a decision support system which provides uniform and efficient handling data procedures, including complete data consistency<br />
validation upon entry. Its data bank is structured to permit the analysis of several planning alternatives. The <strong>STAN</strong> data<br />
bank principally contains networks, matrices and functions: these contain the <strong>STAN</strong> module inputs and outputs which are the<br />
results of demand models and freight network assignments. These elements may be easily modified interactively, or by using<br />
batch input files.<br />
<strong>STAN</strong> is used in 17 countries by 50 organizations. Users include cities, metropolitan areas, consulting firms and universities.<br />
<strong>STAN</strong> workshops are offered periodically. These workshops provide <strong>STAN</strong> users with an ideal opportunity to present their projects,<br />
exchange ideas and network.<br />

Examples of <strong>STAN</strong>’s Modelling and Analysis<br />
environment impact<br />
energy consumption<br />
infrastructure alternatives (high speed train, new railway link, new road, etc.)<br />
shift in modal share (due to network development, rate changes, etc.)<br />
location of facilities (harbour, station, etc.)<br />
withdrawal of services on low volume connections<br />
multi-period analysis<br />
interperiod warehousing choice<br />
sensitivity analysis regarding network and cost structure changes<br />
studies aimed at rationalizing operations and lowering rates<br />
combination of infrastructure projects (fares, regulations, land use, etc.)<br />
toll roads and tunnels<br />
traffic restrictions (decrease or prohibition of heavy traffic, etc.)<br />
domestic and import/export freight flows<br />
hazardous goods<br />
empty vehicle movements<br />
congestion effects<br />
combined transportation<br />
intermodal transshipment<br />
Demand Modelling<br />
<strong>STAN</strong> offers advanced matrix manipulation tools, which permit the implementation of<br />
procedures for determining origin-destination matrices by product. If available, results<br />
from an input/output model may be imported.<br />
The shipment of a product by several modes can be modelled using suitable functions,<br />
to determine the most cost-effective mode share, or by assigning specific submatrices<br />
to particular subsets of modes, to represent mode captivity and restrictions.<br />
Network Representation<br />
<strong>STAN</strong>’s multimodal network structure allows the representation of conventional modes<br />
as well as specific technologies, modes subdivisions or terminal facilities. For example:<br />
road (with or without toll), rail (diesel or electric, different gauges), unit train services,<br />
railyards, ports, shipping lanes, pipelines, etc.<br />
Intermodal transfers can be specified, representing transshipments from one mode to<br />
another mode (at specific points such as intermodal terminals, borders crossings,<br />
pumping stations, ports).<br />
Cost and Assignment<br />
With <strong>STAN</strong>, the unit costs for moving demand on modal links and for intermodal transfers<br />
are given by functions specified by the user as algebric expressions. In <strong>STAN</strong>, the<br />
definition of cost is very general: a combination of money, time, distance, reliability, or<br />
any other performance measure. For simulating freight flows, <strong>STAN</strong> uses a multi-mode<br />
multi-product assignment method which minimizes the total transportation cost.<br />
