Analyzing and Predicting Truck Travel Time Reliability

About the project:

Truck travel time reliability (TTTR) is one of the most important performance measures for assessing freight movement on the interstates. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment (OIPI) have been reporting TTTR as required by the FHWA and using TTTR in various project planning and performance measurement processes. They are interested in data-driven approaches to identify the locations and causes of unreliable truck travel times and to predict TTTR metrics. This study will address the research needs by developing a systematic method to identify the location, time period, and causes of unreliable truck travel times, and develop models to predict TTTR.
