Abstract:

The main objective of this project was to develop a proof-of-concept for a statewide freight forecasting framework that would: (1) Address deficiencies in Wisconsin Department of Transportation's (WisDOT’s) current statewide freight forecasting practice; (2) Represent characteristics of firms, shipments, supply chains, and distribution channels; and (3) Describe trip chaining with a single truck tour making multiple stops for delivery of goods. Secondary objectives for this project were to improve and expand WisDOT knowledge on freight activity in the State, standardize analysis through tools and models, and serve as a channel to discuss freight-related policies, needs, and issues with the State’s freight stakeholders.
