"This report presents a comprehensive, objective, and consistent set of measures to gauge the performance of the freight transportation system. These measures are presented in the form of a Freight System Report Card, which reports information in three formats, each increasingly detailed, to serve the needs of a wide variety of users from decision makers at all levels to anyone interested in assessing the performance of the nation's freight transportation system."--Pub. desc.

Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1, Vienna University of Economics and Business (Informationsverarbeitung & Prozessmanagement), language: English, abstract: Changing economic conditions and increasing competition forced many companies to extend their supply, production and distribution networks towards global approaches. This led to an increase in the importance of freight transport. In consequence, freight carriers are currently required to provide either cost or time efficient solutions to a wide range of industries. In order to select appropriate modes of transport or suitable carriers, enterprises must consider their performance beforehand. Moreover, carriers must be precisely aware of their own performance at any time. Consequently, performance measurement and the definition of suitable performance metrics plays an essential role in freight transport. In practice, companies have to face an extensive variety of indicators that can be used to assess performance in freight transport. Studies prove that there is lack of consistency in the usage of metrics. At the same time, researchers have to cope with wide range of available literature that discusses performance evaluation in freight transportation which is, though, often limited to specific areas of application. In this thesis a structured literature review (SLR) is carried out which has the objective to systematically find out how companies measure performance in intermodal, road, rail, air, and maritime freight transport. The conceptual findings of this SLR provide a list of 1742 metrics from the literature that can either be applied for one or several modes of freight transport. In addition, 47 different ways how KPIs can be classified are identified. The SLR proves that operational performance indicators mainly regard time, distance and available equipment. Strategic metrics focus on costs levels, the change of costs over time, ra

"NCFRP Report 21: Handbook on Applying Environmental Benchmarking in Freight Transportation identifies and evaluates approaches that can be used by public and private entities to estimate, monitor, and reduce freight emissions and impacts across the supply chain by examining how benchmarking can be used as a management tool in the freight and logistics industry to promote environmental performance. The handbook provides a step-by-step overview of the benchmarking process and describes a framework for applying this process to freight carriers, shippers, and freight hubs"--Foreword.

"These proceedings contain a summary of the Transportation Research Board conference on U.S. and international approaches to performance measurement for transportation systems that was conducted on September 9-12, 2007, at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center of the National Academies in Irvine, California. The theme for this third in a series of international conferences, Better Decisions and Better Communication, was selected to highlight opportunities for and experiences in using performance measurement as a strategic tool to better communicate goals and objectives and results to a wide range of stakeholder groups. Presentations highlighted cases in which performance measures have proved useful in guiding resource allocation decisions, improving day-to-day operations, establishing and demonstrating agency competency and accountability and, in some instances, making the case for more resources. The conference consisted of five plenary sessions, each followed by a series of corresponding, concurrent breakout sessions. The topics of the five plenary sessions were Performance Measures as an Organizational Management Tool to Establish Accountability, Communicating Performance Results Effectively to Your Customers, Data and Tools, Hot Topics (addressing the use of performance measures to gauge the effectiveness of tolling and congestion pricing and other innovative transportation strategies to address sustainability and safety issues), and Performance-Based Contracting and Measuring Project Delivery. Three resource papers were developed for the conference. The conference attracted 180 participants from Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States and featured 70 transportation specialists offering real-world expertise, from the application of performance metrics to case studies drawn from six countries. This range of experiences provided attendees with a comprehensive overview of the performance measurement techniques and approaches being applied to transportation systems in the United States and abroad."--Pub. desc.
