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.
