• Abstract:
  There are four objectives for this study: ; 1. Identify the highway traffic bottlenecks in the country that delay truck freight, based on the total amount annual truck delay. Approximately 200 such locations should be identified. A sketch planning method is used to accomplish this task. ; 2.For the worst bottlenecks, identify the top 30 locations using a more refined methodology to derive truck annual truck delay. ; 3.Discuss trends in congestion related to trucks, especially with regard to the previous FHWA freight bottleneck study. ; 4. Provide suggestions for how truck-related bottlenecks should be monitored in the future and provide options for FHWA in developing a freight bottleneck program.
