The purpose of this research, in support of the Federal Highway Administration FAF2 Pilot Project, was to develop methods and procedures to enable State and local governmental agencies to utilize the Freight Analysis Framework 2 (FAF2) commodity origin-destination data and the FAF2 freight network during the transportation planning process. The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAHuntsville) has fairly quickly developed a reputation for innovative, forward-looking ideas, theories and methods in the area of freight forecasting and systems modeling. Because of the work previously performed and ongoing research, the opportunity to participate in this national level pilot study emerged. This opportunity has allowed Alabama and UAH to establish a lead position in setting the research direction of the freight forecasting and planning efforts of the nation.
