Welcome to the Transportation Research Board Transit, Freight, and Logistics Modeling AEP40(1) Subcommittee. We are sponsored by the Transportation Network Modeling AEP40 Committee.
Portland State University

The subcommittee strives to promote the advancement of basic and applied research on strategic planning and operations of transit, freight, and logistics systems. Similar to our parent committee, we have a broad interest in applying principles of systems theory, computer science, operations research, economics, and electrical engineering to mathematical modeling and optimization of networked transportation systems in uncertain and competitive environments. We are specifically interested in developing analytical and simulation based frameworks to examine and evaluate existing practices and emerging trends in transit systems, new innovative logistics systems, and their impacts on passenger and freight transportation. The Subcommittee will serve as a platform that fosters discussion among academic researchers, transit practitioners, freight operators and managers for more effective exchange, dissemination, and transfer of research into practice.
Our efforts are in concert with those of a variety of peer committees at TRB and other societies, including:
- TRB AT015: Freight Transportation Planning and Logistics Committee
- TRB AT025: Urban Freight Committee
- TRB AP000: Public Transportation Group
- TRB B0085: Transit Research Analysis Committee
- TRB AMR10: Critical Transportation Infrastructure Protection Committee
- TRB ACP50: Committee on Traffic Flow Theory and Characteristics
- INFORMS Transportation Science and Logistics Society, Freight Transportation and Logistics Special Interest Group
- ASCE Freight Transportation and Logistics Committee
Please contact the subcommittee chair, Dr. Avinash Unnikrishnan (avinashu at gmail dot com) to become a member of the subcommittee, or to request information about the activities and meetings of the subcommittee.
