The objective of this research is to provide a
systematic approach to study the impact of
changes in goods movements on disadvantaged
groups or minorities. Scientific methods will
be developed to collect data needed and
develop mathematical models to analyze the
impact on disadvantaged populations. The
research will provide:
(1)
A scan of existing literature on
the measurement and planning for goods
movement;
(2)
Data from primary sources based
on continued research of examples from the
literature scan;
(3)
Developed techniques for
determining effects on different populations
based on primary research and built based on
the continued research; and
(4)
Documentation of the research
and applications for potential use in other
locations
