Under the sponsorship of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), a team of representatives from government, industry and the research community made scanning trips through North America and Europe to discuss and report on current practices, Technologies, and knowledge of the highway/commercial vehicle interaction. Many of the issues discussed are critical to the formulation of policies for managing infrastructure preservation and development, controlling the size and weight of heavy vehicles, and improving the productivity and safety of highway freight vehicles. There are also important implications for intermodal freight systems. The European trip included meetings in France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Sweden. These meetings included representatives of national agencies, universities and private companies, as well as the European Commission (EC) and the Eurpean Council of Ministers of Transport (ECMT).
