Abstract:This report documents a sample of heavy-duty truck activity. This research effort was originated by the Planning and Technical Support Division of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and jointly supported by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Battelle performed data collection activities using automated equipment that included Global Positioning System technology to record and subsequently describe truck travel activity within the state of California. The project collected activity data from 140 heavy-duty trucks drawn from a volunteer sample from the California trucking industry. The Federal Highway Administration's objective was to describe truck travel patterns in urban and rural areas for several vehicle classes and to analyze characteristics of heavy-duty truck travel by producing speed profiles, trip patterns, and start patterns and other data summaries. The California Air Resources Board's objective was to improve the heavy-duty truck activity data that are used in forecasting on-road emissions. The descriptive analyses of the sample data prepared in this project demonstrate that this data collection and analysis process is useful for describing HDT activity data. 3 Appendices, 42 figures, 38 tables; 113 p.
