This report analyzes the effectiveness of applying the Quick Response Freight Manual (QRFM) to model freight transportation. Typically freight transportation is modeled indirectly or as an after-thought. Increasing freight volumes, coupled with cost-saving strategies such as just-in-time delivery systems, require that transportation policymakers analyze infrastructure needs and make investment decisions that explicitly include freight volumes as a component. This paper contains a case study using a travel model for a medium-sized urban area and the QRFM trip-generation and distribution methodology to provide a framework for freight planning that can be used to improve resource-allocation decisions.
