Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research effort to develop a base year statewide truck network model for North Carolina was successful. The effort demonstrated an innovative methodology adopted for developing an initial prototype statewide truck network model using available data within a limited time frame. The study described the development and implementation of the North Carolina truck network model. The model estimated North Carolina internal, external and through truck traffic. The model was developed from national truck flow databases including the NHPN and the FAF2 origin-destination annual average daily truck trips data. It was developed using TransCAD software. The methodology adopted for developing the North Carolina truck network model synthesized accepted practices for developing a statewide network model including selecting the traffic analysis zones, choosing the network, and developing the three sequential steps for trip generation, trip distribution and network assignment. The methodology relied on available FAF2 origin-destination synthesized data and typical truck trip generation rates from the Quick Response Freight Manual.

This book was released on 2019-10-27 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) engaged the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a planning committee to organize a public workshop for an expert open discussion of their then-current livestock models. The models had worked well for some time. Unfortunately beginning in 2013, an epidemic that killed baby pigs broke out in the United States. The epidemic was not fully realized until 2014 and spread to many states. The result was a decline in hog inventories and pork production that was not predicted by the models. NASS delayed the workshop until 2019 while it worked to develop models that could help in times both of equilibrium and shock (disease or disaster), as well as alternative approaches to help detect the onset of a shock. The May 15, 2019, workshop was consistent with NASS's 2014 intention, but with a focus on a model that can help predict hog inventories over time, including during times of shock. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Download or read book Semi Queer written by Anne Balay and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-haul trucking is linked to almost every industry in America, yet somehow the working-class drivers behind big rigs remain largely hidden from public view. Gritty, inspiring, and often devastating oral histories of gay, transsexual, and minority truck drivers allow award-winning author Anne Balay to shed new light on the harsh realities of truckers' lives behind the wheel. A licensed commercial truck driver herself, Balay discovers that, for people routinely subjected to prejudice, hatred, and violence in their hometowns and in the job market, trucking can provide an opportunity for safety, welcome isolation, and a chance to be themselves--even as the low-wage work is fraught with tightening regulations, constant surveillance, danger, and exploitation. The narratives of minority and queer truckers underscore the working-class struggle to earn a living while preserving one's safety, dignity, and selfhood. Through the voices of drivers from marginalized communities who spend eleven- to fourteen-hour days hauling America's commodities in treacherous weather and across mountain passes, Semi Queer reveals the stark differences between the trucking industry's crushing labor practices and the perseverance of its most at-risk workers.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's Commercial Truck and Bus Safety Synthesis Program (CTBSSP) Synthesis 10: Alternative Truck and Bus Inspection Strategies explores the characteristics of the various types of alternative commercial truck and bus inspection strategies currently being used by law enforcement agencies. The synthesis examines how vehicles are selected for inspection; how, when, and where vehicles are inspected; and the consequences of violations. The synthesis also provides information on the effectiveness of the inspection strategies, documenting benefits such as reduced costs and improved resource allocation.

Download or read book Estimating the Off network Presence of STAA Dimensioned Vehicles on North Carolina Roadways Using CMV Crash Data 2001 2005 written by Ronald G. Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study used commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crash data from NCDOT's Traffic Engineering Accident Analysis System (TEAAS) to infer the presence and relative extent of STAA dimensioned vehicles operating beyond the 3-mile buffer of the present STAA Truck Network in North Carolina. STAA dimensioned vehicles include trailers 53ft or greater in length and double trailers. STAA routes in NC constitute only about 8 percent of all state-maintained roadway miles. The data showed that approximately 87 percent of all large truck crashes took place on STAA network roads during the period 2001-2005. While only 13 percent of large truck involved crashes took place on roads 'off' the network, the likelihood of any given off-network crash involving a fatality was twice that of a crash taking place on the network. Off network crashes involving large trucks are problematic for reasons other than safety, especially in metropolitan areas where operations, irrespective of crash involvement, are associated with traffic delays (due to the maneuvering/turning requirements of larger vehicles) and infrastructure damage. The report provides GIS 'maps' of each of the eight NCSHP troop areas, the network and its 3-mile buffer and the location and severity of all large truck-involved crashes reported as taking place 'off' the network. The report also provides a detailed description of the attributes of off-network crashes for 2001-2005 for each NCSHP troop. Several criteria were explored as a means for ranking troop areas in terms of need for STAA improvements. The report also identifies specific off-network routes at the county and troop levels having the highest numbers of crashes per mile. Recommendations are provided for 'next steps' as well as a plan for technology transfer and implementation.
