This thesis argues that private sector freight shippers and carriers do not simply need capacity improvements from the regional transportation system, but also a subtle understanding by public sector planners of their supply chain needs. The private and the public sector have different agendas and planning horizons but at the same time may have common interests in the region that involve economic robustness, environmental health, and social cohesiveness what is known as sustainability. We investigate how the largely public sector RSTP and private-sector SCM relate and suggest architectures for an integrated RSTP/SCM planning process. / by Sgouris P.
