Abstract:The following PowerPoint presentation is the draft version of the presentation that would be used for
the upcoming half-day Infrastructure-Friendlier Trucks Forum tentatively scheduled for Friday,
March 13, 2015. This forum presented a project status update, a presentation by Mr. John
Woodrooffe (University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute) on the state of the freight
industry with respect to the size and weight issue, a review and evaluation of current gross vehicle
weights and axle load limits, and a discussion session to attain input from the industry on
limitations for non-conventional vehicle configurations as well as potential benefits and costs that
may come from changes in the truck size and weight regulations. The invitees for the forum
included research team members from the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) and the
University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), industry experts, representatives from truck
manufacturers and operators, and individuals from the Texas Department of Transportation and
the Federal Highway Administration.
