摘要: |
This one-year scoping study examined the current status of highway Freight Performance Measure (FPM) implementation in the United States for possible implementation within the Texas Department of Transportations (TxDOT) division of transportation, planning, and programming. A review of current FPM work revealed several state and federal initiatives and led the team to work closely with American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) staff in determining Texas-based FPM data for the state. The study sponsored a FPM workshop, in which federal initiatives were presented together with study findings on current performance-based work. This report presents a review of current FPM work, details the ATRI-FHWA study currently underway, presents some early ATRI data on Texas highways, explores the potential interface between FPM corridor work and the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) urban performance indices, and finally, makes recommendations for TxDOT on future FPM research and implementation in the state. / NOTE: Technical rept.
