  • Abstract:
    This purpose of this project was to identify the potential factors that could impact truck use of toll roads or ; managed lanes. The researchers outlined the trucking and freight industry needs through synthesis of ; existing literature. Identification of geometric and operating factors that are important to truck drivers and ; operators in terms of safety and efficiency will better characterize what makes toll roads attractive to those ; users. The factors are organized around industry needs (e.g., safety, travel reliability), facility design ; characteristics (e.g., access, ramp design, system connectivity), operating characteristics (e.g., signing and ; pavement markings), and corridor operating characteristics (e.g., traffic, congestion). The research resulted ; in published guidelines to help transportation planners, highway designers, and transportation operations ; professionals determine the geometric design and operational factors important to attract the trucking and ; freight industry to toll roads. The research was done through known relationships of design, safety, and ; operations.
