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. 13p.
