Title: Nationwide Establishment and Freight Survey: Descriptive and Nonresponse Bias Analyses
Accession Number: 01476843
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: This paper investigates the results generated by a recently completed online freight establishment study. The survey was assembled with the intention of supplementing a previous survey, which was utilized in the formation of an activity-based freight demand model known as the Freight Activity Microsimulation Estimator (FAME). The data will be used to formulate new or enhance existing pieces of the freight model such as the shipping chain and supplier selection elements. Within this paper is an overview of the steps taken in designing and implementing the establishment and shipment questionnaires of our freight survey. Following that is a descriptive analysis of the results of key questions posed in our survey. Additionally, in an effort to avoid constructing models based on data suffering from selection bias, a non-response bias analysis was performed on the data.
Supplemental Notes: This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AT060 Trucking Industry Research.
