Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains four categories of information: a summary of an evaluation of the potential for use of commodity flow data for the truck component of Connecticut's state wide traffic model; the development of new truck generation models using a town-based synthetic OD for the state; an evaluation of the use of satelliteimaged data for traffic prediction; and recommendations for future freight transportation planning needs for Connecticut. In this report, five freight or truck data sources were compared and the methodologies needed for their use in the State of Connecticut's truck generation model were evaluated.
Download or read book Freight Transportation Planning Practices in the Public Sector written by Matthew A. Coogan and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1996 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis describes the process by which state departments of transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) integrate freight planning into the surface transportation planning process. It will be of interest to state and MPO planners, port planners; traffic engineers; and to the trucking, rail, and shipping interests in both the public and private sectors. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses the requirements for freight planning resulting from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) with particular emphasis on the development of an intermodal management system (IMS). In addition, that act narrowed the application of the congestion management system (CMS), which is also discussed in the synthesis. Since enactment of that legislation, another act, the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 was passed and makes the IMS optional rather than mandatory. This has not changed the philosophy or the intent of these planning applications, but it has changed the implementation aspects. Many agencies, however, are continuing with the IMS and CMS planning process. This report describes the methods used by selected agencies for forecasting freight flows, data collection practices, and the techniques for integrating freight planning into the established surface transportation planning processes at the state and regional levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 358: Statewide Travel Forecasting Models examines statewide travel forecasting models designed to address planning needs and provide forecasts for statewide transportation, including passenger vehicle and freight movements. The report explores the types and purposes of models being used, integration of state and urban models, data requirements, computer needs, resources (including time, funding, training, and staff), limitations, and overall benefits. The report includes five case studies, two that focus on passenger components, two on freight components, and one on both passenger and freight.

Download or read book Forecasting Statewide Freight Toolkit written by Cambridge Systematics and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2008 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal planning legislation and regulations now mandate that state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations consider the needs of freight when planning and programming transportation investments. While there are standard techniques used to forecast the movement of people, less attention has been paid to forecasting freight movements, and there are consequently fewer standardized techniques that state and local agencies can adapt to their local situation. This Toolkit is designed to provide transportation planners with the information they need to prepare forecasts of freight transportation by highlighting techniques successfully developed by state agencies across the country.
Download or read book Examples of Statewide Transportation Planning Practices written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transportation sector is faced with new legislative mandates as reflected by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. ISTEA, coupled with the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990, provides an impetus for change in transportation planning and project implementation. Statewide transportation planning is one of the mechanisms for change that ISTEA provides. Statewide transportation plans integrate planning for multiple transport modes to balance the mobility needs of the state with future revenue sources. To support this requirement, FHWA and FTA have issued statewide transportation planning rules. These rules identify twenty-three factors to be addressed in statewide plans. The case studies included in this report demonstrate examples of coordination.
Download or read book Statewide and Sub area Transportation Model Feasibility Study written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research, a feasibility study to develop an Idaho statewide transportation model is conducted. Review of statewide transportation models from Florida, Wyoming, Michigan, Vermont, Indiana, and Pennsylvania is conducted to summarize the most appropriate procedure for developing a statewide model. On the local level, the transportation planning effort in Idaho is reviewed. This effort includes review of the metropolitan planning organization models as well as Idaho commodity flows, which will be the basis for the statewide model. A review of the transportation planning software packages is conducted to select the most appropriate package for statewide modeling. The research team recommends Transplan as the outweighing package for Idaho statewide modeling. A transportation model requires the input of a transportation network, traffic data and land use data. Therefore, the availability of existing digital databases is assessed. This study has constructed the foundation for developing the Idaho statewide travel demand model. On the basis of this feasibility study, ITD will implement phase two of this project, the development of the Idaho Statewide Transportation Model. The proposal for the model is represented in the final section of this report.

Book excerpt: A multi-disciplinary approach to transportation planningfundamentals The Transportation Planning Handbook is a comprehensive,practice-oriented reference that presents the fundamental conceptsof transportation planning alongside proven techniques. This newfourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of allusers, the role of safety in the planning process, andtransportation planning in the context of societal concerns,including the development of more sustainable transportationsolutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a newformat that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approachto planning, design, and implementation, including guidance towardthe latest tools and technology. The material has been updated toreflect the latest changes to major transportation resources suchas the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADAaccessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rationalplanning model of defining objectives, identifying problems,generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans.Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a moremulti-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the risingimportance of sustainability and environmental concerns.
