Hi - hope this finds you all doing well! Please see below a request for information in support of NCHRP 8-98. If you have questions, please email Bill Eisele (cc'd above). I will be sending out a more detailed email with ABJ30 updates, but in the meantime, we hope you'll "save the date" for our mid-year meeting at NATMEC (http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/conferences/2014/NATMEC/Program.pdf ): Monday June 30, noon to 2 pm CT. Thanks Stacey Stacey G. Bricka, Ph.D. Texas A&M Transportation Institute 512.407.1123 ---------- Hello everyone, Are you aware of documented practices or studies for identifying, classifying, evaluating, and mitigating truck freight bottlenecks? This documentation could be part of freight plans, congestion studies, congestion management process (CMP) activities, goods movement studies, etc. If so, we would love to review any documented practices and experiences! The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), in association with Cambridge Systematics and the University of Washington, is performing a literature review for National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 8-98 "Guide for Identifying, Classifying, Evaluating, and Mitigating Truck Freight Bottlenecks." The ultimate goal of the project is the development of a practitioner guidebook on this topic. Our working title of truck bottleneck is "any condition that acts as an impediment to efficient truck travel, leading to travel times in excess of what would normally occur." If you have any documented practices we can review (U.S. or international), please send them to me by Friday May 9th at bill-eisele@tamu.edu<mailto:bill-eisele@tamu.edu> . Thanks in advance for any assistance. Thanks, Bill Bill Eisele, Ph.D., P.E.
