Description
Summary:	"NCFRP Report 29: Making Trucks Count: Innovative Strategies for Obtaining Comprehensive Truck Activity Data develops and assesses strategies for obtaining comprehensive trucking activity data for making more informed public policy decisions at the national and regional levels. The report focuses on improving existing approaches rather than creating completely new ones, with a goal of yielding meaningful results in 5 to 7 years. Three approaches were developed in detail: (1) using GPS traces to understand trucking activities, (2) a re-conceptualized Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (VIUS), and (3) agent-based models for freight transportation."--publisher's description.
