Project Title: A two-stage approach for estimating a statewide truck trip table (2012)

Content Provider	CiteSeerX
Abstract	Statewide models including passenger and freight movements are frequently used for supporting numerous statewide planning activities. Many states use them for air quality conformity analysis, freight planning, traffic impact studies, economic development studies, project prioritization, and many other planning needs (Horowitz, 2006). Recently, the importance of truck demand in the statewide planning process has increased due to its significant influence on the economy of each individual state and the nation as a whole. The current practice in estimating statewide truck origin-destination (O-D) trip table is through using truck trip rate estimation method in the Quick Response Freight Manual (QRFM), or from private freight database (i.e., TRANSEARCH by Global Insight). However, because of the nature of the shared database or borrowed parameters derived from different sources, the state Department of Transportation (DOT) has to spend tremendous efforts to improve the accuracy of the estimation to match the local observations (e.g., truck counts). Calibration (or estimation) is usually a lengthy process and requires specialized technical staffs to operate. There is an urgent need to develop innovative methodologies that make use of the publicly available data from both federal and state levels to estimate reliable and accurate statewide truck O-D trip table.
