Design and Access Management Guidelines for Truck Routes

项目名称：	Design and Access Management Guidelines for Truck Routes
摘要：	Access management techniques and design considerations for transportation networks and sites served by trucks have been developed over the years, but have not been specifically compiled or consolidated into guidelines useable by transportation practitioners. It is difficult for practitioners to incorporate these techniques and considerations, or to identify gaps in the knowledge base. A single resource is needed covering the design and operations of truck routes through urban and rural areas, as well as truck-focused intersection and driveway design guidelines. Various safety and operational issues may occur in relation to ingress versus egress and require different solutions. From an operational perspective, there appears to be a critical point at which a small increase in trucks can create a major failure in operations. Research is needed to provide state transportation agencies and local governments with a single resource for state-of-the-practice access management and design strategies for truck freight routes (e.g., turn-lane design, access location, access spacing, driveway and site circulation design, parking, and corridor issues), and to identify where additional guidance is needed. The objective of this research is to provide guidelines for transportation practitioners on (1) access management and design for truck routes and site layout to facilitate truck movement that can be directly incorporated into planning processes, and (2) design specifications for local governments and state transportation agencies to improve truck safety and operations.
