摘要: The opening session featured Joseph Schofer, Northwestern University, Chair of the Workshop Planning Committee. Schofer summarized the objectives of the workshop, Adapting Freight Models and Traditional Freight Data Programs for Performance Measurement; recognized the workshop planning committee and Transportation Research Board staff; and reviewed the workshop schedule. The following topics were covered: The workshop has four objectives. The first is to identify the data and models necessary for estimating key performance measures of freight system condition, efficiency, and safety and the economic and environmental impacts that support public and private decision making. The second is to consider the adequacy of existing data programs and models, including the Freight Analysis Framework, for meeting performance measurement needs. The third is to define critical gaps in data programs and modeling tools and to identify the essential actions needed to close them. The fourth is to explore a focused research framework, with supporting research needs statements, that could lead to improvements in data and models for estimating freight transportation performance measures.
