Download or read book Freight demand Modeling to Support Public sector Decision Making written by Cambridge Systematics and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2010 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents an evaluation of possible improvements in freight demand models and other analysis tools and provides a guidebook to assist model developers in implementing these improvements. The report is especially valuable for its findings of general satisfaction with methods available to support freight planning, but concerns with the data available to support that planning. As such, the report focuses on ways to use existing data to develop data inputs for the model, showing that existing and readily available data can be used to develop the inputs required by freight models. The report will enable decision makers at a range of geographical levels to improve the usability of freight demand models."--Pub. desc.
