8 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Bckgroud Sttewide models, icludig psseger d freight movemets, re frequetly used for supportig umerous sttewide plig ctivities. My sttes use them for trffic impct studies, ir qulity coformity lysis, freight plig, ecoomic developmet studies, project prioritiztio, d my other plig eeds (Horowitz 2006). Accordig to the dtbses from FHWA (2009) d Cesus Bureu (2010, 2012), the Uited Sttes (U.S.) trsporttio system trsported totl of 17.6 billio tos per yer i 2011 to serve lmost 117 millio households d 7.4 millio busiess estblishmets. The importce of truck demd hs bee icresed i the sttewide plig process becuse of its strog ifluece o the ecoomy of the sttes d the tio overll. Truck is the domit mode of freight trsporttio, with the idustry hulig 11.9 billio tos i 2011, equtig to pproximtely two-thirds (i.e., 67%) of ll freight trsported i the U.S. (FHWA 2009). Accordig to the Freight Alysis Frmework 3 (FAF) dtbse, truck shres pproximtely 75% of the domestic freight shipmets, d this tred is expected to cotiue util However, freight trsporttio cpcity, especilly rodwy trsporttio, is expdig too slowly to keep up with demd (Cmbridge Systemtics 2005). This growth imblce could sigifictly cotribute to cogestio t highwy segmets, iterchges, d highwy bottleecks (i.e., loctios tht re physiclly rrow d/or cogested) d hece re very susceptible to icidets d disruptios. Cogestio is lso cused by restrictios o freight movemet, such s the lck of spce for trucks i dese urb res (FHWA 2008) s posted o the rodwys due to height, legth, width, weight limits, icidet, or costructio. Figure 1.1 shows the loctios of highwy iterchge bottleecks (i.e., solid dots) for trucks o the tiol highwy etwork (Cmbridge Systemtics 2005). The bottleecks i Uth iclude Slt Lke City d Wstch Frot peripherl res. Truck origi-destitio (O-D) trip tble is importt compoet tht c be used to help strtegic trsporttio ple, provide, d govermet gecies to idetify the potetil bottleecks i their res. The subsequet results of truck trip tble obtied from the proposed frmework will be beeficil for ssistig stte deprtmets of trsporttio (DOTs) d metropolit plig orgiztios (MPOs) o evlutig opertiol strtegies to ddress the cosequet impcts due to truck trffic, icludig cogestio, ifrstructure deteriortio, sfety, d eviromet. 1

(2005) Figure 1.1 Mjor highwy iterchge bottleecks for trucks 1.2 Reserch Need The curret prctice i estimtig sttewide truck O-D trip tble is through the use of truck trip rtes estimted i the Quick Respose Freight Mul (QRFM) developed by Cmbridge Systemtics (2007), or usig commercil freight dtbse (e.g., TRANSEARCH, developed by IHS Globl Isight, Ic.). However, becuse of the ture of the shred dtbses, the stte DOT hs to exert tremedous efforts to improve the ccurcy of the estimtios to mtch the locl observtios (e.g., truck couts, vehicle-miles of trvel (VMT), etc.). The clibrtio process is usully legthy d requires specilized techicl stffs to operte. I dditio, commercil freight dtbses (e.g., TRANSEARCH by Globl Isight, Ic.) re typiclly proprietry, ot vilble for public ccess. My smll sttes usully do ot hve sufficiet resources to coduct freight surveys or house techicl stffs to develop the freight demd model. My existig models overlook this compoet or simply ssume tht freight trips follow some behviorl mechism similr to psseger trips, i.e., truck trffic is estimted s fuctio of psseger-cr trffic (Ogde 1992). This could be potetil wekess of truck demd modelig i the sttewide model, where truck flow chrcteristics hve bee determied by other cotributig fcto such s loctio fcto (i.e., plces of productio d mrket), physicl fcto (i.e., wys tht goods c be trsported: i bulk, tk, flt bed, or refrigerted cotier), geogrphicl fcto (the loctio d desity of popultio my ifluece the distributio of ed products), d so o (Ortuzr d Willumse 2002). 2
10 Holguí d Thoo (2000) summrized differet wys tht could be used for modelig freight trsporttio demd d divided them ito two mjor modelig pproches: trip-bsed d commodity-bsed. For trip-bsed modelig pproch, the model hs three mjor compoets: trip geertio, trip distributio, d trffic ssigmet. The trip-bsed model does ot eed modl split step s it ssumes mode choice hs lredy bee selected. List et l. (2002), for istce, the trip-bsed modelig method is used to estimte truck O-D trip tble from prtil d frgmetry truck observtios i the New York regio. The mi dvtge of the trip-bsed modelig method is tht it typiclly requires less dt (i.e., oly truck trffic couts) to reproduce O-D mtrix. However, the trip-bsed modelig method teds to overlook the behviorl chrcteristics of commodity flows. Commodity-bsed modelig method, o the other hd, uses the commodity flows to estimte truck flows produced d ttrcted by ech zoe i the study re. Sorrtii d Smith (2000), for exmple, developed sttewide truck trip model usig commodity flow dt obtied from the commodity flow survey (CFS) d improve the estimtio usig the iput-output (I-O) ecoomic dt. Although the commodity-bsed models hve more dvtges th trip-bsed models, s they c cpture more ccurtely the fudmetl ecoomic mechisms of freight movemets, truck O-D trip tble estimted from this method ofte overlooks the o-freight truck trips (e.g., light commercil truck or empty truck trips). To fill this modelig gp, this reserch proposes two-stge pproch to estimte sttewide truck O-D trip tble. The proposed pproch is supported by two sequetil stges: stge oe estimtes the commodity-bsed truck O-D trip tble primrily derived from the commodity flow dtbse, d stge two dopts the cocept of pth flow estimtor (PFE) to refie the commodity-bsed truck O-D trip tble usig the observed truck couts. The proposed pproch uses the secodry dt sources vilble for public d reserch ccess such s the Freight Alysis Frmework (FAF) dtbse, sttewide trffic couts, d socioecoomic d ld use dt to estimte sttewide etwork truck trffic. A cse study usig the Uth sttewide freight trsporttio etwork is coducted to demostrte the pplictio of the proposed method. 1.3 Objective of the Study The gol of this reserch is to develop two-stge pproch for estimtig truck O-D trip tble usig both commodity flows d truck couts. The specific objectives of this reserch iclude the followig: Ivestigte d updte the sttewide truck dt from the followig dt sources: o Freight Alysis Frmework veio 3 (FAF3), ewly relesed tiol commodity O-D dtbse o The up-to-dte sttewide truck cout progrms o The Uth Sttewide Trvel Model (USTM) 3

The review provides the bckgroud, fetures of the models, d potetil cpbilities for developig two-stge pproch for estimtig the truck O-D trip tble. Sectio 3 provides overview of the sttewide truck demd, icludig the freight trsporttio treds d the truck freight compoet i the Uth Sttewide Trvel Model (USTM).

The solutio lgorithm for solvig the PFE is lso provided i this sectio. Sectio 5 demostrtes the cpbility of the two-stge pproch usig cse study i Uth.

12 2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Literture Review o Truck O-D Estimtio Holguí d Thoo (2000) summrized differet wys tht could be used for modelig freight demd d divided them ito two mjor modelig pltforms: (1) trip-bsed modelig d (2) commodity-bsed modelig. Figure 2.1 depicts the modelig of these two pproches. This sectio provides literture review bsed o these two modelig pproches Trip-bsed Modelig Approch For trip-bsed modelig pproch, the model hs three mjor compoets: trip geertio, trip distributio, d trffic ssigmet. The trip-bsed model begis with trip geertio. I this step, regressio models for trip productio d trip ttrctio re estimted i cojuctio with ld use d socio-ecoomic chrcteristics for ech trffic lysis zoes (TAZ). The ext step is trip distributio, which is ccomplished through sptil iterctio model (i.e., grvity model or growth fctor method). The lst step is to ssig the trip tble from the trip distributio step to the etwork. This trip-bsed modelig pproch is lso kow s three-step model s the mode choice hs bee lredy mde i the truck freight model. The curret prctice i estimtig truck trip tble is through the use of the truck trip rtes estimted i the Quick Respose Freight Mul (QRFM) II developed by Cmbridge Systemtics (2007). The QRFM provides truck trip geertio rtes bsed o the survey dt collected from Phoeix, Arizo. Usig trip rtes to reflect the trip-mkig propesity bsed o ld use cofigurtios is commo prctice, d provides ecoomicl d resoble estimte whe plig resources re limited. My reserche hve lso demostrted tht the estimtio of truck O-D trip tble could be chieved usig secodry dt sources bsed o the trip-bsed modelig pproch. 5
13 Trip-bsed Modelig Commodity-bsed Modelig Trip Geertio Commodity Geertio Trip Distributio Commodity Distributio Commodity Mode Split Vehicle Trip Estimtio Trffic Assigmet Trffic Assigmet Figure 2.1 Trip-bsed d commodity-bsed pproches (modified from Holguí-Vers d Thoo 2001) Tmi d Willumse (1989) itroduced three-step model to estimte freight demd from observed trffic cout dt. They used two types of grvity models i the trip distributio step: the grvity model d the grvity-opportuity model. They proposed the olier lest squre d mximum likelihood estimtio methods to esure tht the models estimte lik flows s close s possible to the observed dt. List d Turquist (1994) developed lier progrmmig (LP) method to sythesize the truck flow ptter from the observed truck couts o some liks d cordo lies. This LP method miimizes the weighted sum of the residul betwee the estimted d observed vlues usig fixed lik-use coefficiets for ech O-D pir from probbilistic pth ssigmet procedure. Lter, List et l. (2002) used similr techique to estimte lrge-scle truck O-D trip tble i the New York regio. The model ws implemeted i two-step process: the fit step estimtes the trip productio d trip ttrctio t ech TAZ; the secod step uses the lik-use coefficiets bsed o multi-pth trffic ssigmet procedure to estimte the truck O-D trip tble. Criic et l. (2001) used bi-level optimiztio progrm to djust the trget freight demd mtrix such tht the differeces betwee the observed d ssiged truck flows i the upper level re miimized. The lower level for this bi-level progrm is system optimum (SO) trffic ssigmet procedure. They implemeted the bi-level progrmmig method i the Strtegic Plig of Freight trsporttio (STAN) softwre, iterctive-grphic trsporttio plig pckge for multimodl multiproduct freight trsporttio. The mi dvtge of the trip-bsed modelig pproch is tht it typiclly requires less dt (i.e., oly truck trffic couts) with some existig plig dt (e.g., trip productio, trip ttrctio, prtil or full size of trget trip tble) to estimte O-D mtrix. However, the mi disdvtge of the trip-bsed 6
14 modelig pproch is tht it teds to overlook the behviorl chrcteristics of commodity flows i the urb d regiol models. Holguí-Vers et l. (2001) oted tht trip-bsed models hve limited rge of pplicbility to ccout for mjor chges of the study res such s chges i ld use d tht it could be difficult to model multimodl systems usig this modelig pproch Commodity-bsed Modelig Approch The commodity-bsed modelig pproch, o the other hd, uses the commodity flows to estimte truck flows produced d ttrcted by ech TAZ. I the Uited Sttes, the FAF estimtes commodity flows over the tiol highwy etworks, wterwys, d ril systems mog the sttes d regios. The curret veio of the FAF commodity O-D dtbse (FAF veio 3) provides estimtes of commodity flows by origi, destitio, d by mode for the bse yer 2007 d the forecst ye from 2010 to 2040 with five-yer itervl. Note tht the FAF commodity O-D dtbse ws developed usig the 2007 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) d other public dt sources. To estimte truck demd from the CFS dt, the commodity flows i toge hve to be disggregted from the stte to the fier zol level such s TAZ by couty d the covert them to truck trips usig the truck pylod equivlet fctor (TPEF). Becuse the CFS dtbse is bsed o survey dt estblished through shipper-bsed survey, the commodity-bsed models c better cpture the fudmetl behviorl chrcteristics of commodity flows. Sorrtii d Smith (2000), for exmple, developed sttewide truck trip model usig the commodity flow dt obtied from the CFS dtbse d improved the estimtio usig the I-O ecoomic dt. A similr techique ws lso dopted by Fischer et l. (2005) for estimtig the hevy-duty truck O-D trip tble for the Souther Clifori Associtio of Govermet (SCAG) regio. The commodity-bsed modelig pproch is ofte used i sttewide d regiol prctices. Zhg et l. (2003), for istce, estimted the itermodl freight flow ptters of highwy, rilwy, d wterwy etworks for the stte of Mississippi usig the CFS dtbse d public domi dt. They further developed simultio model to ssess the freight opertios d the modl shift effect (i.e., from truck to itermodl brge/truck). Al-Bttieh d Kysi (2005) used geetic lgorithm (GA) procedure to fid the best O-D mtrix tht gives the miimum devitio betwee observed d estimted dt whe the O-D mtrix is ssiged to the etwork. Trip productio d trip ttrctio derived from the trip geertio step were lso used to preserve the sptil distributio of the commodity flow ptter. However, it is kow tht GA cot gurtee fidig the globl optimum. Stef et l. (2005) oted tht it my be difficult to obti the I-O dt for certi regiol d urb res. While the commodity-bsed models hve more dvtges th the trip-bsed models, s they c cpture more ccurtely the fudmetl ecoomic mechisms of freight movemets, truck O-D trip tble estimted from the commodity-bsed method ofte overlooks the ofreight truck trips (e.g., commercil truck or empty truck trips). Hybrid models hve bee developed to bridge the modelig gp of trip-bsed d commodity-bsed models. Holguí- Vers d Ptil (2008) developed multi-commodity O-D estimtio model tht combied two submodels: (1) commodity-bsed model d (2) complemetry model of empty truck trips. The fidigs of this study highlights the sigifict beefits of cosiderig empty truck trip model i the estimtio process s it c improve the bility to replicte the observed trffic couts. 7
15 The hybrid pproch ws lso dopted i the SCAG s truck demd model. Hybrid models forecst the iterl-iterl truck trips through the use of trip-bsed model d forecst the exterl truck trips through the use of commodity flow survey.

16 2.2 Literture Review o Truck O-D Estimtio Stte-of-the-prctice i truck freight modelig pproches c be clssified brodly ito the followig eight ctegories bsed o the objective, methodology, d dt requiremets: (1) likbsed fctorig method, (2) O-D fctorig method, (3) three-step truck model, (4) four-step commodity flow model, (5) ecoomic ctivity model, (6) hybrid model, (7) logistics/supply chi model, d (8) tour-bsed model (see detils d discussios i Fischer et l. 2005) Lik-bsed Fctorig Method The lik-bsed fctorig method uses the growth fcto bsed o the historicl freight tred lysis or ecoomic growth forecsts for sclig the bse-yer lik volumes to obti the future-yer lik volumes. For istce, this method ws pplied i the Quick Respose Freight Mul II (Cmbridge Systemtics 2007). Though this method is simple d requires less dt to coduct the lysis, the drwbck of this method is the lck of behviorl bsis for modelig freight trffic. I some cses, it ssumes freight trips follow behviorl mechism similr to the psseger trips; tht is, truck trffic is estimted s fuctio of psseger-cr trffic (Ogde 1992) O-D Fctorig Method The O-D fctorig method lso pplies the growth fcto to scle the bse-yer trip tble d ssigs the updted demd to the rod etwork. The bse-yer truck O-D trip tble is usully lyzed from some freight surveys such s the commodity flow dt (e.g., Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) by BTS, or privte freight dtbse such s the TRANSEARCH dtbse by IHS Globl Isight, Ic.). These dtbses typiclly chrcterize the commodity flows or log-hul truck trffic, but lck the detils of freight flows such s locl, service, d empty truck trips Three-step Truck Model The three-step truck model follows the trditiol trvel demd forecstig process, icludig trip geertio, trip distributio, d trffic ssigmet, without the modl split step. Mode choice is ssumed to hve lredy bee mde i the three-step truck model. The trip geertio step c be ccomplished usig trip geertio rtes or equtios bsed o the chrcteristics of the locl sites, icludig existig d forecst zol employmet d popultio dt, to geerte truck productios d ttrctios. The trip distributio step is the pplied to geerte truck O- D trip tble, d the trffic ssigmet step ssigs the truck O-D trip tble to the rod etwork. This method hs ofte bee criticized s it does ot cpture other possible modes d/or multimodl freight demd Four-step Commodity Flow Model The four-step commodity flow model follows similr structure s the trditiol four-step model for pssege. The commodity-bsed trip geertio model estimtes the toge commodity flows betwee origis d destitios bsed o the tiol or commercil freight dtbse (i.e., Freight Alysis Frmework (FAF) or TRANSEARCH by IHS Globl Isight, Ic.). The commodity flows re the disggregted to TAZ bsed o the couty s popultio d 9
17 employmet dt. The trip distributio step estimtes trip tble usig the grvity model. The modl split step ssumes tht the bse yer truck shre or truck proportio remis the sme i the future yer. The verge pylod fcto re further used to covert the dily commodity flows (i toge) to the dily truck trips. A ll-or-othig (AON) trffic ssigmet procedure is typiclly used to prelod the freight truck trffic by lloctig ll the truck trips from ech O-D pir to the shortest free-flow time pth, d user equilibrium (UE) trffic ssigmet procedure is the used to ssig the psseger trips. A multiclss trffic ssigmet procedure c lso be used to simulteously ssig both psseger d truck trips i the sttewide trvel demd model (e.g., the Florid Itermodl Sttewide Highwy Freight Model (FISHFM) d the Souther Clifori Associtios of Govermet (SCAG) model). Figure 2.2 provides grphicl illustrtio of the four-step commodity flow modelig process.

18 2.2.5 Ecoomic Activity Model The ecoomic ctivity model is lrgely drive by the ecoomic ctivity dt or existig ecoomic d ld-use models such s the sptil I-O model. The model uses the I-O structure to estimte the ecoomic reltioship betwee idustries d betwee idustries d households. Network flows re the derived d ggregted from these prticulr structures (see the Orego sttewide model s exmple) Hybrid Model The hybrid model ttempts to bridge the gps betwee the commodity flow modelig techiques d freight truck modelig techiques. The commodity-bsed model hs some dvtges over the trip-bsed model s it c better cpture the fudmetl ecoomic mechisms of freight movemets; however, truck O-D trip tble estimted from this method ofte overlooks the ofreight truck trips (e.g., light commercil truck d/or empty truck trips) i urb res. The hybrid model typiclly dopts trip geertio model to compeste these udercouted truck trips bsed o the socio-ecoomic dt of ech TAZ, d uses trip distributio model (e.g., grvity model) to estimte the truck O-D trip tble. The model hs the flexibility to icorporte specil trip geerto (e.g., wrehouses, distributio cete, termils, etc.) d exterl trips obtied from dditiol freight surveys Logistics/Supply Chi Model The logistics/supply chi model combies the ecoomic I-O model with logistics model to form itegrted model. The ecoomic I-O model clcultes the supply-demd iterctios from differet ecoomic secto, while the logistics/supply chi model ssigs the goods to determie the sptil commodity flow ptter. Exmples of the logistics/supply chi model iclude the Strtegic Model for Itegrted Logistics Evlutio (SMILE) of the Dutch Miistry of Trsport d the GoodTrip model (Boerkmps 1999) Tour-bsed Model The tour-bsed model follows the cocept of the ctivity-bsed model for psseger trvel demd modelig.

Figure 4.1 depicts coceptul frmework of the two-stge pproch. The fit stge uses tiol commodity flow dt from the Freight Alysis Frmework Veio 3 (FAF 3 ) dtbse to develop commodity-bsed truck trip tble. The secod stge uses the pth flow estimtor (PFE) cocept to refie the truck trip tble obtied from the fit stge usig the truck couts from the sttewide truck cout progrm.

It should be oted tht the FAF3 commodity dtbse c be publicly ccessed from the Freight Mgemet d Opertios Dtbse website 1. It cosists of three mjor dtbses: 1) DOM dtbse: the commodity flows betwee domestic origis d domestic destitios, 2) BRD dtbse: the commodity flows by ld from Cd d Mexico to domestic destitios vi ports of etry o the U.S. border d vice ve, d 3) SEA dtbse: the commodity flows by wter from ovees origis vi ports of etry to domestic destitios d vice ve.

(2) Distribute Truck Flows to Iterl d Exterl Zoes This step requires qutifyig four types of truck flows, which re: 1) truck flows withi Uth (Iterl-Iterl [I-I]) 2) truck flows from Uth to other sttes (Iterl-Exterl [I-E]) or productio flows 3) truck flows from other sttes to Uth (Exterl-Iterl [E-I]) or ttrctio flows 4) through truck flows ([E-E]) The results of I-I, I-E, d E-I truck flows re provided i Appedix B. Figure 4.3() depicts the FAF3 etwork tht ws origilly obtied from the Ntiol Highwy Plig Network (NHPN). As prt of the NHPN, the Uth etwork for freight lysis cosists of 2,430 liks, 34 exterl sttios i two FAF zoes.

Note tht employmet d popultio re the most commo disggregtio fcto, d this iformtio c be obtied from stte govermet orgiztios, e.g., Uth Goveror s Office of Plig d Budget (GOPB) for popultio d Uth Deprtmet of Work Force Services for employmet i this study (U.S. Bureu of Ecoomic Alysis, Uth Deprtmet of Work Force Services 2000). The disggregte fctor of employmet is used for truck trip productio, while the disggregte fctor of popultio is used for truck trip ttrctio. These fcto re clculted s follows: O c C c1 Emp c Emp c, (4.1) 25

(4) Covert Truck Flows to Truck Trips The lst step is to covert truck flows to truck trips usig the truck pylod equivlet fctor (TPEF). Note tht the TPEF is computed bsed o the truck weight dt obtied from the Federl Vehicle Ivetory d User Survey (VIUS) dt (Office of Freight Mgemet d Opertios, FHWA 2007), Weigh-I-Motio (WIM), d Port of Etry (POE) sttios i Uth. The result idictes tht the TPEF for Uth is 41,196 lbs/vehicle or 20.6 tos/vehicle. This umber is withi resoble rge compred with the empiricl studies i other sttes (e.g., tos/vehicle for Ohio (Cmbridge Systemtics 2002), tos/vehicle for Wiscosi (Wiscosi Deprtmet of Trsporttio 1995), d tos/vehicle for Texs (Cmbridge Systemtics 2004). Note tht the TPEF computed bove is the me pylod for ll commodities d truck types. The TPEF c be further lyzed to better cpture the commodity d truck body types s suggested by the Ok Ridge Ntiol Lbortory (2011). The coveio equtio is expressed s follows: J I J K ijk Yj Xi j1 i1 j1 k1 ijk (4.3) where Yj is the umber of trucks i group j (i.e., sigle uit, truck triler, combitio semitriler, combitio double, combitio triple; J = 5); Xi is the toge of commodity i (i.e., clssified usig SCTG; I = 43); ijk is the frctio of commodity i moved by group j with body type k (i.e., dry v, flt bed, bulk, reefer, tk, loggig, livestock, utomobile, other; K = 9); d ijk is the TPEF of group j with body type k trsportig commodity i. I the fil step, the umber of workig dys per yer for truck opertios from the Highwy Cpcity Mul (HCM) (Trsporttio Reserch Bord 2000) (i.e., 300 workdys per yer) is used to covert the ul truck flows to dily truck flows 4.2 Commercil d Empty Truck Demd Estimtio Commercil Truck Demd Estimtio It hs bee oted tht estimtig truck O-D trip tble from the commodity flows ofte uderestimtes the locl truck trips such s the light commercil d empty truck trips. I the USTM, the locl truck flows re domited by the itr-couty flows t the couty level. The results idicte tht locl truck movemets re cocetrted betwee Ogde d Provo, log the 26
34 I-15 corridor i Slt Lke City. Locl trffic o U.S. 6 d U.S. 89 is projected to icrese substtilly by 2040, while trffic o I-80 shows slight decrese. This shows the sigifict role of locl truck trffic for estimtig sttewide freight movemets. Thus, i this study, we dopt the commercil truck trip geertio model to estimte the locl d commercil trucks s follows: O y y y y y comm griculture griculture bsic bsic rtil retil office office household household r r r r r r where d office y r comm O r is the productio flows of origi r for commercil truck; griculture y r,, (4.4) bsic y r, retil y r, re the employmet rtes for griculture, bsic (e.g., mufcturig, trsporttio, wholesle, d utilities), retil, d office, respectively; d griculture household y r is the umber of households i origi r. The clibrted coefficiets (,,,, ) were borrowed from the USTM (i.e., (0.166, 0.141, 0.133, 0.065, 0.038) for urb re, d (0.050, 0.222, 0.133, 0.065, 0.038) for rurl re). Plese refer to Tble 3.5 d Tble 3.6 for detils.

The logit model itercts with lik cost fuctios to produce stochstic user equilibrium (SUE) trffic ptter. It should be oted tht the SUE trffic ssigmet procedure ws lso implemeted to estimte the freight flows i the FAF veio 3 (plese refer to Chpter 5 of FAF3 report [FHWA 2009]). The im of this stge is to dpt the PFE to tke ot oly truck trffic couts but lso the 29

PFE requires trffic cout dt to estimte the sttewide truck O-D trip tble while the plig dt re optiol iputs i this process. However, the commodity-bsed truck O-D trip tble obtied from the fit stge c ehce the observbility of the O-D estimtio problem s well s preservig the sptil commodity flow ptter i the study re.

The etropy term seeks to spred trips oto multiple pths ccordig to the dispeio prmeter, while the user equilibrium term teds to cluster trips o the miimum cost pths. As opposed to the trditiol logit-bsed SUE model, PFE fids pth flows tht miimize the SUE objective fuctio while simulteously reproducig truck trffic couts o ll observed liks i Eq.

I the bove procedure, we just provide the djustmet equtios for differet types of costrit (e.g., observed liks, uobserved liks, observed iteectios, trget O-D flows, etc.). The detiled derivtios of the djustmet equtios c be foud i Che et l. (2009, 2010), d covergece of the itertive blcig scheme is discussed i detils i Bell et l. (1997) d Bell d Iid (1997). (2) Colum geertio The bove itertive blcig scheme ssumes tht workig pth set is give. For lrge etworks, it is ot prcticl to eumerte workig pth set i dvce sice the umber of possible pths grows expoetilly with respect to etwork size. To circumvet pth eumertio, colum (or pth) geertio procedure c be ugmeted to the itertive blcig scheme. Bsiclly, the lgorithm itroduces outer loop (or itertio) to itertively geerte pths to the workig pth set s eeded to replicte the observed itervl costrits (e.g., lik couts, turig movemet couts, selected prior O-D flows, etc.), d to ccout for the cpcity restrits for the uobserved liks s well s the cogestio effects, while the itertive blcig scheme itertively djusts the priml vribles (e.g., pth flows, lik flows, iteectio turig movemet flows, O-D flows, etc.) d the dul vribles i the ier loop for give workig pth set from the outer loop. Note tht the workig pth set is geerted by colum geertio scheme (or shortest pth lgorithm) usig the geerlized lik costs, which re bsed o ot oly the lik costs but lso the dul vribles from the ctive side costrits. The dul vribles force the colum geertio scheme to geerte pths tht stisfy the side costrits. For dditiol discussios o the issue of usig the geerlized lik costs to geerte pths, refer to Bell et l. (1997) d Che et l. (2009, 2010). 1,, 40
48 (3) Output derivtio from pth flows Usig the pth flow solutio, vrious outputs c be derived s follows. Totl demd: the sum of ll pth flows from ll O-D pi gives the totl demd utilizig the etwork. Zol productio: the sum of ll pth flows emtig from give origi gives the zol productio. Zol ttrctio: the sum of ll pth flows termitig t give destitio gives the zol ttrctio. O-D flow: the sum of ll pths flows coectig tht O-D pir gives the O-D flow. Lik flow: the sum of ll pth flows pssig through give lik gives the lik flow. 41

Uth s freight trsporttio etwork depicted i Figure 5.1 ws extrcted from the FAF3 etwork. The etwork cosists of 385 odes, 944 liks, d 2,256 O-D pi. The study re cosists of 29 couties d 19 exterl sttios (i.e., etry d exit poits roud the stte borde). The Wstch Frot Regiol Coucil (WFRC), the mjor truck geertio re i the stte highlighted i Figure 5.1, cosists of three mjor couties: Slt Lke, Weber d Dvis. Truck trffic couts from 222 loctios (bout 23% of etwork liks) were collected from the Uth Deprtmet of Trsporttio (UDOT) trffic mp (UDOT trffic mps 2013). The observtios re mily locted o the mjor itette freewys of Uth, such s I-15, I-70, I-80, d I-84 (see the itette freewys i Figure 5.1). These mjor itette freewys re the mjor truck routes for Uth, especilly I-15, which rus orth-south d psses through Slt Lke City d my other cities. Note tht the freight demd derived from the FAF3 dtbse ws bsed o the verge ul dily truck trffic (AADTT), so lik cpcity vlues were required to replicte the dily equivlet cpcity for give lik. To do so, we dopted the dily cpcity coveio fcto bsed o the fuctiol clss of the rodwys. The cpcity ws the expded by dividig the hourly cpcity by the coveio fctor d used for subsequet steps. 42

55 The secod stge used the pth flow estimtor (PFE) to refie the truck trip tble obtied from the fit stge usig the truck couts from the sttewide truck cout progrm. Three differet types of iformtio, icludig truck couts, prtil set of O-D flows, productio d ttrctio flows (commodity d empty truck flows), were used to updte the truck O-D trip tble. Figure 5.4 depicts the sctter plots of observed d estimted lik flows obtied from the two-stge pproch d compres them with the oe-stge pproch (i.e., the commodity-bsed truck O-D trip tble from stge oe). Note tht the oe-stge pproch ssigs the commodity-bsed truck trips usig ll-or-othig (AON) trffic ssigmet procedure, which is typicl method used to prelod trucks to the sttewide etwork. Truck flows obtied from this method re usully ssiged bsed o the shortest distce or trvel time, d there is o cosidertio of cogestio.

Figure 5.6() d Figure 5.6(b) depict the sctter plots of observed d estimted lik flows d estimted trip productio for these two cses. RMSE= trips RMSE= trips () Truck cout oly (cse 1) (b) Truck cout oly + commodity bse dt (cse 2) Figure 5.6 Comprisos of observed d estimted sttewide truck flows The results show the truck trip tble estimted by PFE produces firly good mtch for both cses (i.e., cse 1: RMSE= trucks/dy, cse 2: RMSE= trucks/dy). It should be oted tht the RMSE idictes the ggregted qulity of O-D estimtes. A smller vlue idictes higher qulity of the estimtio process. Betwee the two cses, icludig sptil costrits ito the estimtio slightly deteriortes the mtchig of truck couts s idicted by the higher RMSE. This is compested by the better estimtes of zol productio d ttrctio flows. The estimted totl demd of cse 1 is pproximtely 38% less th the totl demd estimted from the fit stge. This highlights the importce of icludig the sptil costrits ito the PFE model, which c better cpture the totl demd i cse 2 (i.e., slightly over 6%). However, we still observe 50
58 tht cse 2 uderestimtes some lik flows, especilly those liks with high truck flows o I-15 er Slt Lke City. This is becuse those liks re locted closed to res with higher level of freight ctivities er the Slt Lke City Itertiol Airport. This is the cocetrted re with high truck trffic ccessig to/from the shippig compies d itermodl fcilities such s ril-truck d ir-truck modes. Resolvig this issue requires ddig specil geerto of truck trips from surveys of high freight desity res such s wrehouses d freight distributio cete. From the modelig poit of view, these specil geerto c be implemeted i the PFE frmework s they re hdled by the zol productio d ttrctio costrits (i Eqs. 4.8, d 4.9) similr to the commercil d empty truck trips. Figure 5.7() d Figure 5.7(b) depict the truck productio flows for cse 1 d cse 2, respectively. From these two figures, we c observe the trip productios i cse 2 re more distributed whe the sptil costrits re cosidered i the estimtio process. By ddig zol productio d ttrctio flows s costrits i cse 2, it c improve the observbility of the trip geertio ptter. Thus, this emphsizes the importce of usig two-stge pproch to cpture both the commodity flows d truck couts i the field, so tht the sttewide truck flow ptter c better reflect the relity.

59 5.2.3 Truck Corridor Alysis This sectio provides the truck corridor lysis. I Uth, I-15 is primry corridor for both psseger d freight movemets. The truck corridor serves s bckboe route for truck movemets of griculturl eergy (i.e., oil, gs, d col) products i souther Uth d owrd to mjor cities i the stte such s Provo, Slt Lke City, d Ogde. Additioly, the I-15 corridor lso helps to coect the through truck trffic s prt of the CANAMEX corridor. Figure 5.() depicts the dily truck trffic flows o the I-15 corridor. Figure 5.8(b) d Figure 5.8(c) show dditiol detils of the truck flow profile strtig from the orther border (from Idho) to the southe border (to Arizo) d the correspodig dily truck V/C rtios. As expected, the hevily used truck liks re i the WFRC re, especilly the liks er Slt Lke City d its pheripherl urbized res such s Weber Couty, Dvis Couty, d Uth Couty. The most cogested lik crries dily truck trffic of 16,058 trucks/dy with AADT of 34,634 psseger c/dy, or bout 30% of this segmet beig truck trffic. Additiolly, i this re the dily truck flow to cpcity rtios rge betwee 0.3 d 0.5. The most cogested lik is bout 0.52, which idictes tht truck trffic highly cotributes to the cogestio o this prticulr lik i the urb res. Figure 5.8(d) depicts the dily truck vehicle mile trveled (TVMT) for this corridor. The dily TVMT is clculted bsed o the truck trvel distce d the dily truck flows estimted from the two-stge pproch. As c be see, the TVMT i Slt Lke couty is lower th those of Dvis d Uth couties. The mjor reso is tht higher truck flows c trvel loger distce i those couties, while similr mout of truck flows c trvel shorter distce withi Slt Lke couty. This suggests tht these liks could hve higher cogestio, which could led to stop-d-go trffic coditios roud this re. 52

61 6. CONCLUSIONS This study hs developed two-stge pproch for estimtig truck O-D trip tble usig both commodity flows d truck couts dt. The model is supported by two sequetil stges: Stge oe estimtes the commodity-bsed truck O-D trip tbles primrily derived from the commodity flow dtbse, while stge two uses the pth flow estimtor (PFE) to refie the truck trip tble to better mtch the observed truck couts. I the fit stge, we hve developed simplified procedure to estimte commodity-bsed truck trip tble usig the commodity flows from the ewly relesed FAF 3. The FAF 3 provides commodity flow estimtes bsed o toge d vlue by commodity type, mode, origi, d destitio for 2007, d forecsts through It is publicly ccessible from the Freight Mgemet d Opertios Dtbse from the FHWA website. This stge coside itrstte, itette, d through truck flows. Four tsks re eeded to ccomplish this: 1) extrct sttespecific commodity flows by from FAF 3, 2) coduct subre lysis to estimte through truck flows, 3) disggregte the stte-specific to couty-specific commodity flows, d 4) covert the commodity flows ito truck trips. The secod stge dopts the PFE to refie the truck trip tble obtied from the fit stge usig the up-to-dte truck couts. The bsic ide is to fid set of pth flows tht c reproduce the observed truck couts from the sttewide truck cout progrm collected from permet cout sttio loctios withi the stte d stte borde, while preservig the sptil distributio of the O-D commodity flow ptter obtied from the fit stge. To ehce the observbility of the truck O-D trip tble, dditiol plig dt, such s productio d ttrctio flows, re icluded i the PFE estimtio. Vlidtio of the results of the PFE is ssessed by the ccurcy of the ssigmet estimtes mesured by the root me squre error (RMSE) betwee the estimted d observed truck couts. The flexibility of ggregtig pth flows t differet sptil levels i the PFE llows us to mkes use of vrious existig dt (e.g., truck couts, productio d ttrctio commodity flows, truck VMT t the stte level, etc.) d commodity-bsed dt with commercil d empty truck trips for estimtig the sttewide truck trip tble. The proposed pproch c be lso used to coduct the truck corridor lysis to determie the cogested liks d potetil bottleecks. Although the results usig Uth s cse study re stisfctory, ccurte d cosistet truck couts re required i the PFE to produce relible results. Extedig the PFE to hdle icosistet trffic couts t the sttewide level should be explored (see Che et l. 2009, 2010). Costrits such s trip legth frequecy distributio is eeded to model differet types of sttewide truck trffic (i.e., short hul, log hul, d empty truck trips) i the PFE. Hece, further work should cosider multiclss d multimode (e.g., commercil, sigle- d multiple-uit trucks, d psseger c) (see, for exmple, Yg d Hug 2004; Mrcotte d Wyter 2004; Wog et l. 2005), so tht it c better reflect the ctul cogestio of the sttewide etwork. I dditio, truck surveys t freight compies d distributio cete for ech couty d stte border (e.g., Weigh-i-motio, Port of Etry sttios) should be coducted to udetd the freight movemets i the sttewide 54
62 etwork. The curret truck O-D trip tble is estimted from the commodity flow dt from FAF d truck couts collected by the Uth Deprtmet of Trsporttio. It should be updted usig the ewly developed Uth Sttewide Trvel Model to improve the ccurcy d qulity of the truck O-D trip tble. 55
