A method is developed which enables to deal with freight transport as a separate component of overall transport within the general frame of transport planning. Freight transport follows specific rules and makes specific requirements on transport facilities. The planning procedure developed consists of the following functional elements: generation of the quantities of goods to be dispatched and received, classified according to categories of goods; distribution of the quantities of goods to be dispatched and received among the modes of transportation (modal split), according to affinities and qualities of accessibility; balancing of dispatch and receipt potentials by means of freight traffic, differentiated according to types of goods and modes of transportation; quantification of required transport capacities in order to evaluate freight traffic taking loading density, transport space utilization, and share of empty runs into account; quantification of vehicle requirements on the basis of the necessary transport capacity; relation of calculated numbers of vehicles to a dimensioning time interval; and assignment of vehicle streams to a transport network.
