The use of national freight data at the local level is challenging due to the high level of aggregation and because freight data is proprietary. Many national freight databases aggregate information to the individual states or major communities. Most methods of... by Karen | Feb 1, 2010 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A.

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 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Dr. Michael D.
