Abstract:

"This project established a framework for the creation and maintenance of a statewide strategy for identifying,

anticipating, and mitigating freight bottlenecks on interstate highways in the state of Alabama. It used

methodology developed by Cambridge Systematics to identify and quantify bottlenecks.

This research identified nine freight bottlenecks on Alabama interstates using 2006 traffic data supplied by

ALDOT. These include six “capacity” bottlenecks, which are caused by an insufficient capacity in relation to

demand (where the ratio of Average Annual Daily Traffic to the capacity of the roadway in passenger cars per

hour per lane is greater than 8). The other three bottlenecks are “interchange” bottlenecks, which are similar

to capacity bottlenecks except they occur at interchanges involving two or more interstates."
