Abstract:

This report analyzes the effectiveness of applying the Quick Response Freight Manual (QRFM) to model freight

transportation. Typically freight transportation is modeled indirectly or as an after-thought. Increasing freight

volumes, coupled with cost-saving strategies such as just-in-time delivery systems, require that transportation

policymakers analyze infrastructure needs and make investment decisions that explicitly include freight volumes as

a component. This paper contains a case study using a travel model for a medium-sized urban area and the QRFM

trip-generation and distribution methodology to provide a framework for freight planning that can be used to

improve resource-allocation decisions
