Abstract
Area type is often used in freight demand analysis and logistics planning models. For example, in freight transportation planning. area type variable is most often commonly used in freight generation (attraction) model. Yet a reliable, forecastable and measurable definition or area type is generally not documented. In fact, there is little literature on the subject of predicting area type in the context of freight planning models. This can be troublesome when applying models to long-range logistics planning where significant changes in population and employment result in changes in the general character of an area. Through the use of Discriminant Model, GIS (Geographic Information System) analysis and Delphi methods, this paper presents the successful exploration for a quantifiable means of determining area type.
