Résumé
The second phase of the study of the integrated transportation of goods and hazardous materials in the Greater Montreal Area was completed during 1993 by way of a combination of activities meant to increase our knowledge and awareness of this question.
Four simultaneous actions were initiated at the beginning of the year. To begin with, an intensive counting program (classification and origin-destination counts) was set forth by the Ministry of Transportation of Quebec (MTQ), the Montreal Urban Community (MUC) and many participating municipalities. Next, Origin-Destination surveys were conducted of the road and rail carriers by the consulting firms of Beauchemin-Beaton-Lapointe and CANARAIL respectively. During this time, the MADITUC Group at the École Polytechnique designed and created a data management and analysis software (MADGAT) that would structure the diverse components of the information system necessary to implement an additional analysis and strategical planning software, MAD(strat)2 - Modèle dAnalyse Désagrégé Stratifié et Stratégique (Stratified and Strategical Disaggregate Analysis Model).
The present paper describes the essential elements of the methodological approach (components of the informational system - carriers, vehicles, activity nomenclature, products - and the modelling triptych - TERRITORY-NETWORK-DEMAND-), as well as a few results derived from the preliminary data obtained from the surveys. Graphical representations of the spatial distribution of the diverse commercial movement markets, as well as summary simulations of the trucking itineraries illustrate certain functionalities of the new tools available to planners.
This text is based on the synthesis of a number of certain documents which have been presented elsewhere. Among them are : the terms of reference of Phase II (produced by the Territory Development Division of the Territory Planning Department of the Montreal Urban Community in collaboration with the Department of Road Transport of Goods of the Ministry of Transportation of Quebec) used in the project "THE STUDY RELATIVE TO THE INTEGRATED TRANSPORTATION OF URBAN GOODS AND DANGEROUS MATERIALS -MODELLING AND DATA MANAGEMENT", the offer of service and the definitive work schedule submitted by the MADITUC Group of École Polytechnique, as well as the technical paper entitled : "A Totally Disaggregate Approach of Urban Goods Movement Planning" presented at the international francophone congress of the Association pour le Développement Technique des Transports de lEnvironnement et de la Circulation (ATEC) at Versailles in October 1993 under the theme "What Kind of Transportation for our Cities of Tomorrow ?" |
