Research Spotlight: Validation of Freight Volume Modeling on Major Highway Links

Monday, October 28, 2024

  Source: samafoto via iStock   One of the most challenging problems in urban transportation planning is the lack of fine-grain data on freight movements. Cities and regions do not know how many trucks operate on their streets and highways and have limited freight flow information. Recent PSR- funded research shows the potential for an effective and scalable solution to truck flow estimation using advanced computational methods applied to data from existing sensors.   ...
