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.
