SHRP2 C20: Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Strategic Plan Implementation Plan

This plan aims to enhance decision-making in freight transportation by improving freight demand modeling and data collection through implementation assistance and national initiatives. It includes proof of concept pilots, behavior-based freight modeling, innovations in local freight data, and more. Learn more at the Go SHRP2 website.

  1. SHRP2 C20: Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Strategic Plan Implementation Plan Vidya Mysore

  2. SHRP2 C20 Implementation : Purpose Freight data & analytical tools and its necessity • Decision-makers recognize that transportation investments are being informed by an understanding of the implications, benefits, and trade-offs relative to freight. Today - “ECONOMY drove Freight transportation need” Vision for tomorrow – “Freight transportation drives the ECONOMY”

  3. Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Implementation Plan: • Implementation Assistance Program • National Initiatives

  4. Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Implementation Assistance Program Purpose: To foster fresh ideas and new approaches to freight demand modeling and data collection that ultimately enhance decision-making.

  5. Implementation Assistance Proof of Concept Pilots - Funds for piloting products to evaluate readiness for implementation Behavior-Based Freight Modeling Pilot Assistance Program • Advance ‘tour-based’ and ‘supply chain’ freight modeling • Improve the understanding of decision-making by freight agents and their implications for network modeling Innovations in Local Freight Data Pilot Assistance Program • Identify and adapt disparate sources of data • Refine of current data sources • Develop new data sources on smaller geographic scales

  6. Implementation Program: Information To learn more about SHRP2 C20 Recipients and their project objectives, please visit at Go SHRP2 website and click - Implementation Assistance, Round 3, C20 and recipients! http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/goshrp2/ImplementationAssistance#round3

  7. Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement National Initiatives: By 2020, a vision for improved freight modeling and data will be characterized as follows: • Robust freight forecasting tools have been developed and are the standard for public sector freight transportation planning. • These tools and data are dynamic in terms of linking with other key variables such as development and land use, and are dynamic in terms of application to local scale, corridors, or regions. • The knowledge and skills of DOT and MPO staff have been methodically enhanced to complement the development of better tools and data.

  8. C20 National Implementation Activities • Freight Modeling and Data Expert Task Group • Freight Data Collaboration and Standardization Workshops • Freight, Economic, Land Use and Demographic Data Collaborative • FMIP Portal • Collaboration, Knowledge Sharing and Outreach • Practitioner Handbook • Project Case Studies • Briefings • Peer Exchanges • Cross-agency trainings • Conferences and presentations • Executive training • Champion outreach
