  2. Presentation Outline • FAF Objective • Approaches • Deliverables • FAF2 Structure and Components • Question/Answer

  3. FAF2 - Objective • To answer freight shipment volume and congestion questions on the highway system • To answer freight shipment route/corridor questions • To answer freight shipment modal questions • Other derivative usages

  4. FAF2 - Objective • To answer freight shipment volume and congestion questions on the highway system • To answer freight shipment route/corridor questions • To answer freight shipment modal questions • Other derivative usages Big Picture and National Overview

  5. FAF2 - Objective • To answer freight shipment volume and congestion questions on the highway system • To answer freight shipment route/corridor questions • To answer freight shipment modal questions • Other derivative usages 1) FHWA/US DOT policy and investment analyses 2) Other derivative usages

  6. FAF2 - Approach • Data Sources – public data • Methods and Models – transparent and duplicable • Deliverables – data, methods, and results are publicly available

  7. Deliverables Commodity O-D Related FAF2 Network Related

  8. Deliverables Commodity O-D Related 1) The current 2002 O-D database 2) Projections for years between 2010 and 2035 in 5 year interval 3) Annual provisional estimate

  9. Deliverables FAF2 Network Related 1) The 2002 O-D truck O-D database 2) Future truck O-D databases for year 2015 and 2030 3) FAF2 national highway network 4) Various products (corridor, congestion…) from truck network loading 5) FAF2 water and rail assigned networks

  20. FAF2 : Commodity Geographical Resolution • 114 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) regions • 17 additional international gateways (AIG) • 7 International trade regions A Total of 17,196,732 Matrix Cell Values for a given time period

  21. 114 CFS Zones (Green and White)

  22. FAF2 - 13 AIG (Magenta) Land Crossings: Laredo TX; Blaine WA; International Falls MN; Champlain/Rouses Point NY; Alexandria Bay NY; El Paso TX; Brownsville/Hidalgo,TX. Ports: Beaumont TX; Charleston SC; Portland ME;Savannah GA; Morgan City LA; Corpus Christi TX; Lake Charles LA; Baton Rouge LA; Mobile AL; Airport: Anchorage AK

  23. FAF2 - 7 International Trade Regions • Canada • Mexico • Latin and South America • Asia • Europe • Middle East • Rest of the World

  24. FAF2 – Transportation Mode • Truck • Rail • Water • Air • Pipeline • Intermodal • Others

  25. FAF2 – Commodity Classification Standard Classification for Transported Goods (SCTG) At 2-digit level, there are 42 commodities+ 1 unknown.

  26. FAF2 – Commodity Classification • Farm based agricultural • Fishery • Crude petroleum • Natural gas • Municipal solid waste • Construction • Logging • Services • Publishing • Retail • Household & Business Moves • Import • Export continued … Categories Outside CFS

  27. FAF2 – Future Goods Movement The regional economic growth projections for years between 2010 and 2035 are analyzed through economic models for three different scenarios – normal growth, low growth, and high growth. These growth data are commodity specific.

  28. FAF2 – Routing Future Goods Movement For a given commodity, the modal split remains constant unless information indicates otherwise. This does not guarantee that total modal share is constant. If commodity shares are changed, then total modal share will be changed, too.
