This report develops and assesses strategies for obtaining comprehensive trucking activity data for making more informed public policy decisions at the national and regional levels. The five chapters provide an introduction, assessment of primary data sources for truck-activity data, feasibility review of innovative strategies, detailed implementation strategies, and conclusions and future research needs. The report focuses on improving existing approaches rather than creating completely new ones, with a goal of yielding meaningful results in 5 to 7 years. Three approaches were developed in detail: (1) using global positioning systems (GPS) traces to understand trucking activities, (2) a re-conceptualized Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (VIUS), and (3) agent-based models for freight transportation.
