Joint Products and Road Transport Rates in Transport Models

Key Points

• The research aims to address deficiencies in transport models by incorporating backloading into cost analysis.
• Analyzed existing point trading models for transport cost calculations.
• Identified the absence of backloading considerations in these models.
• Proposed a new method to integrate backloading into transport cost evaluations.
• Demonstrated that current models underestimate transport costs without backloading adjustments.
• Verified that including backloading leads to more accurate transport rate predictions.
