Proposal Summary and Objectives
The objectives of this research are to provide TDOT with important guidance on truck parking issues and opportunities, by identifying parking needs (i.e., addition of capacity and/or construction of new facilities); developing truck parking violation rates (i.e., truck parking on on- and off- ramps) and developing/applying a methodology to identify candidate locations for new truck parking facilities in the State of TN. This study extends the work done by Golias et al. (2017) and Cherry et al. (2017) who used truck GPS and survey data to evaluate the performance of truck parking in Tennessee.
