• Abstract:
  This project investigated the use of large streams of truck GPS data available from the American Transportation ; Research Institute (ATRI) for the following statewide freight modeling and planning applications in Florida: ; (1) Average truck speed data were developed for each (and every) mile of Florida’s Strategic Intermodal System ; (SIS) highway network for different time periods in the day. ; (2) Algorithms were developed to convert raw truck GPS data into a database of truck trips. The algorithms were ; applied to convert four months of raw data, comprising 145 million GPS records, into more than 1.2 million ; truck trips traveling within, into, and out of Florida. ; (3) The truck trip database developed from ATRI’s truck GPS data was used to analyze truck travel ; characteristics, including trip duration, trip length, trip speed, and time-of-day profiles, for different regions ; in the state. Further, distributions of origin-destination (OD) truck travel times were derived for more than ; 1,200 OD pairs in the Florida Statewide Model (FLSWM). ; (4) ATRI’s truck GPS data were evaluated for their coverage of truck traffic flows in Florida. At an aggregate ; level, the data were found to capture 10 percent of heavy truck volumes observed in Florida. ; (5) The data were used to develop OD tables of statewide freight truck flows within, into, and out of Florida. To ; do so, the truck trip database developed from ATRI’s truck GPS data was combined with observed truck ; traffic volumes at different locations in Florida and other states using OD matrix estimation procedures. The ; OD tables were developed for the spatial resolution of traffic analysis zones used in FLSWM. ; (6) Preliminary explorations were conducted with ATRI’s truck GPS data for analyzing truck travel routes ; between different locations and for analyzing truck flows out of seaports.
