Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Strategic Plan (SHRP 2 Report S2-C20-RW-2)

|
Greetings!
Freight traffic has generally been growing at a rate faster than passenger traffic on the nation's highway network. As a result, freight bottlenecks have begun to develop at various points throughout the network. Capacity Project C20 (Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Strategic Plan) assessed the state of the practice of freight demand modeling and freight data as they relate to highway capacity planning and programming. It also developed a strategic plan, which suggests strategic research initiatives that could begin to improve the practice of freight demand modeling and freight data. Previously released as a prepublication document, this report has now been edited and formatted.
