D. Com. (Transport Management) / The objective of this study was to obtain information and an understanding about the nature and magnitude of the South African freight transport market, as well as to establish the relative importance and/or position of the various transport modes from a transport economic point of view. The underlying rationale was the lack of information in this regard in South Africa. In an effort to help overcome this lack of information the stUdy concentrated on the following: the magnitude of the freight transport market the participants in this market the market share of each participant the products being transported the geographical location and distribution of the transport undertakings. Information about the freight transport market in South Africa was obtained on a sectoral basis by means 'of a literature analysis and an empirical investigation (field study).

M.Ing. (Transport Engineering) / The background to goods loading in South-Africa are briefly discussed. Retail are classified and distinction are made between six different retail types. Goods vehicles are also classified and a design rigid and articulated goods vehicle (for retail) are determined. The results of the surveys at retail outlets are discussed and the characteristics of goods vehicle movement for example trip generation rates, typical total loading times, service times and goods vehicle composition at the different retail types are dealt with. Regression curves has been calculated for goods vehicle arrivals against trading area. Multiple channel queuing theory is used to determine the loading space requirements for the different types of retail. Theoretical methods .to describe the vehicle track and swept paths during maneuvering is dealt with and turning circle templates for the identified design vehicles are developed. Dimensions of a typical loading area are determined using the templates. The dimensions has also been verified with practical maneuvering tests involving two rigid and two articulated goods vehicles. The maneuvering tests showed that the driving (maneuvering) capabilities of a driver are playing a major role in the loading area needed. The basic principles involved when designing a loading dock are lastly briefly discussed.

Efficient freight mobility plays a major role in the economy, and its performance is closely related to the quality of the transportation system. Requirements for funding transportation infrastructure projects often do not specify the analytical tools planners should use to request funding. Critical Urban and Rural Freight Corridors are sections of the National Highway Freight Network providing critical connectivity of goods and must have improved system performance. This research study offers a method for identifying these corridors considering temporal and spatial inputs. For this end, a multi-criteria spatial decision support system (MC-SDSS) was developed. This framework attributes a score to highway corridors (links) based on policy eligibility and prioritization. We apply the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to structure the problem and consider different stakeholder preferences and available data. The product of this study is a tool for decisionmakers to optimize the selection of critical freight corridors and analyze alternatives. It also offers flexibility to manipulate the framework to meet various agency goals, using the State of Florida as a case study. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2021. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
