Freight Planning Support System for Northeastern Illinois
The overall framework for the development of the policy analysis tool follows that of the traditional commodity-based freight demand forecasting model, consisting of commodity flow generation, mode choice, and route choice modules. However, each module is developed using a novel approach that addresses the shortcomings of the existing methods. The aim of this project is to develop a policy analysis tool that can assist public agencies in the formulation of effective strategies for the Chicago region and also Midwest to cope with the anticipated changes in both the volume and the flow pattern of freight traffic in the long term.
