Railroad branch-line abandonment, grain subterminals, and major
changes in rural land use and transportation patterns are
generating heavy truck traffic on low-volume collector and arterial
highways. Unfortunately, these changes are occurring at a time when
America's highway network is under-funded and deteriorating.
Tolliver presents an integrated set of methods for projecting the
effects of rail-line abandonment and rural land-use changes on
future highway costs. This unique book is analytical yet practical.
It provides intuitive insights into the complex forces that
generate truck traffic and lead to the deterioration of pavements
and, at the same time, contains many useful and replicable
formulas, techniques, and models. Unlike existing texts in highway
engineering, this book focuses on freight transportation demand and
the modeling of heavy truck traffic flows. Through the use of
theoretical and applied concepts in transportation demand,
mathematical programming, and network analysis, a set of procedures
for modeling heavy truck traffic is formulated. Then, using
life-cycle pavement concepts, a methodology for forecasting the
financial effects of incremental heavy truck traffic is
constructed. The impact assessment techniques are illustrated
through the use of two real-world examples: (1) the location of a
large grain subterminal elevator and (2) the abandonment of a
railroad mainline. In each case, the concepts of freight demand
forecasting, truck traffic simulation, and pavement deterioration
analysis are applied to actual data and events.
