A model for national freight flows, distribution centers, empty trucks and urban truck movements
Trucks travel both short distances for local deliveries and long distances for transporting goods across the country. Often their travel behavior is tour-based, they run under tight schedules and under curfew on selected roads. Despite these differences from personal travel, in practice truck models largely follow person travel methods. To overcome this shortcoming, a two-layer truck model is developed for the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Long-distance trucks are driven by commodity flows, with distribution centers, rail yards, marine ports and airports being represented explicitly. Empty trucks are accounted for as well. For the short-distance truck model, a novel parameter estimation method makes use of limited data to derive region-specific parameters. The model is fully operational and validates reasonably well against traffic counts.
