Abstract
In this paper, we analyse interregional freight transport movements in Europe with a view on new spatial patterns based on transport economic scenarios for environmental sustainability. Two different approaches are compared, viz. the logit model and the neural network model.
The paper will essentially deal with a research experiment for the robustness of interregional freight flows by comparing the two above methodologies. Our results in this framework highlight the fact that the two models adopted, although methodologically different, are both able to provide a reasonable spatial representation of the interregional transport flows in Europe.
