A Review of Cargo Prioritization Techniques within Inland Waterway Transportation

摘要

In order to support the development of a cargo prioritization model for inland waterway transportation and as part of ongoing research funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the paper provides a vital knowledge base of existing cargo prioritization models by reviewing twenty selected papers from governmental agencies and academic institutions. A methodology comparison matrix is constructed based on three criteria that summarize features of the cargo prioritization methods.
