Freight transport has historically inherited the passage transport framework and model assumptions. But, are all of them valid? This paper discusses one of the least discussed assumptions: the mutual exclusiveness of alternatives in the freight con-text. To do so, a Multiple Discrete Extreme Value Model (MDCEV) has been used to describe the behavior of grain consolidators with data from a stated preference survey that allowed multiple alternatives to be chosen simultaneously. The choice is de-scribed by the Travel Time, Lead Time, Price paid in the port and Freight Price. The MDCEV gave insights regarding the satiation behavior of the grain consolidators. This way, the MDCEV can become a valuable tool for modeling tactical and strategic choic-es.

Freight transport has historically inherited the passage transport framework and model assumptions. But, are all of them valid? This paper discusses one of the least discussed assumptions: the mutual exclusiveness of alternatives in the freight context. To do so, a Multiple Discrete Extreme Value Model (MDCEV) has been used to describe the behavior of grain consolidators with data from a stated preference survey that allowed multiple alternatives to be chosen simultaneously. The choice is described by the Travel Time, Lead Time, Price paid in the port and Freight Price. The MDCEV gave insights regarding the satiation behavior of the grain consolidators. This way, the MDCEV can become a valuable tool for modeling tactical and strategic choices.Downloads
