Title: Innovations in Freight Demand Modeling and Data
Accession Number: 01488594
Record Type: Monograph
Blurb URL: Abstract: To improve the nation’s ability to plan for increased freight-related traffic and to begin to address the growing issue of freight bottlenecks, the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) conducted a research project to assess the state of the practice of freight demand modeling and freight data as they relate to highway capacity planning and programming. This project, Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Strategic Plan (Capacity Project C20), produced Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement (SHRP 2 Report S2-C20-RR-1), which documents the state of the practice for freight demand modeling; Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Strategic Plan (SHRP 2 Report S2-C20-RW-2), which outlines seven strategic objectives that are designed to serve as the basis for future innovation in freight travel demand forecasting and data, and to guide both near- and long-term implementation; and a speaker’s kit, which is intended to be a “starter” set of materials for use in presenting the freight modeling and data improvement strategic plan to a group of interested professionals. SHRP 2 Project C20 also hosted the 2010 Innovations in Freight Demand Modeling and Data Symposium, which was conducted as a means of discovering the sorts of innovation that were occurring internationally in terms of both freight demand modeling and freight data. Based on the success of this symposium, planning for a second innovation symposium is under way in SHRP 2 Project C43 (Second SHRP 2 Freight Modeling and Data Innovation). This project brief gives an overview of SHRP 2 projects C20 and C43.
