DRIVERS THAT INFLUENCE FREIGHT MOVEMENT The overall freight movement in the country depends significantly on the growth in industrial, agricultural production and imports. This is also reflected in the high degree of correlation (>0.99) between GDP (industrial plus agriculture) and imports (called adjusted GDP) versus freight movement during 1971-72 to 2006-07.Besides economic growth, the investments made in infrastructure of transport segments also are an important driver of freight movement in a particular mode of transportation. Even though economic growth is the most significant driver for freight movement in a broad sense, the extent of influence specific demand drivers will have on a particular mode of transport may vary. For instance, freight movement in coastal shipping mainly depends on the extent of import-export in the country, while, rail and road freight movement has been significantly influenced by the hub and spoke model of freight distribution.
