The Alabama Statewide Freight Study and Action Plan was a study initiated by the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) recognizing the need for research in freight transportation. Research included identifying freight related constraints and how potential... by Karen | May 1, 2010 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Dr. Michael D.

Using national freight data at the local level is challenging due to the high level of aggregation, its proprietary nature and the need to apply proxy factors to allocate freight for system planning. Planning factors used in freight system analysis must be capable of... by Karen | Feb 1, 2010 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Dr. Michael D.

The use of local freight data in transportation planning is essential to ensure accuracy in the travel demand modeling process. However, unlike passenger transportation, where extensive research work has been performed into the collection and use of household travel... by Karen | Feb 1, 2010 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A.

The ability to plan and forecast freight demand to support transportation infrastructure investment decisions is limited by the lack of available data at a level of detail that is meaningful to the transportation planner. This paper develops an initial methodology... by Karen | Jan 1, 2010 | ATN Research, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Lisa S. Blanchard, Nicholas Loyd, Publication
This paper discusses the integration of A3 Thinking as an innovative academic communication standard in industrial engineering. The paper begins by providing an overview comparison of A3 Thinking, a critical component in Toyota’s PDCA management system, and... by Karen | Jan 1, 2010 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.
