• Abstract:
  In early 2009 WisDOT, HNTB and ECWRPC completed the first phase of the Northeast Region Travel Demand Model. ; While the model includes a truck trip generation based on the quick response freight manual, the model lacks enough ; truck classification counts and other data to accurately calibrate the model to existing conditions, as well as for future ; freight demand conditions. Therefore, sufficient data needs to be collected in order to accurately calibrate a model for use ; in calibrating freight use. This project will calibrate the model through data collection and field verification efforts. ; This study will provide data to evaluate and improve a model for the truck/freight mode split component of the travel ; model. Current freight information that could be used to verify and calibrate the model is minimal; therefore, this project ; will collect the needed data to do so using aerial photography, GIS data, mapping projects, and other data obtained by ; East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (ECWRPC). The project will complete a land use inventory ; specific to the freight industry, with documentation and mapping. The research team will also provide staff training and ; technical assistance.
