Abstract:

Recently there has been renewed interest in modeling urban truck movements. This is potentially important for improving traffic forecasts as well as for a host of other applications including ITS. There are unique aspects of urban freight movements, such as trip chaining, that must be considered for credible models. Most urban truck trips occur on tours comprised of many vehicle trips that are chained together for efficient routing. This paper discusses models for intraurban trips and provides an enhanced framework for modeling urban truck trips that is workable for most MPOs. This framework can be implemented in the form of either aggregate or disaggregate models at the zone or establishment levels, respectively. Various approaches for overcoming data obstacles are considered including use of truck traffic counts to estimate trip tables. Use of geographic information systems (GIS) and new data sources is examined, and practical guidance is provided for model implementation.
