摘要：	The movement of freight in Wyoming is critical to the states economy as well as the national economy. Wyomings transportation system provides a vital link for the movement of commodities across the United States in addition to providing access to the mineral, industrial, and agricultural resources of the state. The intent of this research is twofold. First is to get an overall understanding of freight movement within the state including freight vehicle counts, commodity types, and freight vehicle accidents. The second intent is to focus on freight vehicle safety in strong wind conditions. High wind conditions are the frequent cause of freight vehicle rollovers, often forcing the shutdown of roadways and halting the movement of freight through heavily used corridors. The wind research studies the weather station data and looks at the correlation between measured wind speeds and the likelihood of freight vehicle rollover accidents. The focus of this research is on truck and rail freight movement because air and water freight modes represent a very small portion of the goods movement in the state. Pipelines are addressed to a lesser extent. This report describes a research effort conducted at the University of Wyoming by Dr. R. Young, assistant professor, and graduate students Joel Liesman, David Lucke, and Shane Schieck.
