Abstract

This paper presents an innovative methodology to comprehensively model two dimensions of commercial vehicle travel activity using disaggregate level commercial vehicle daily travel data. Two dimensions of freight activity considered in this model include the daily tour-chaining pattern(s), and the number of trips made in the tour-chains. The results of this study indicate that a host of factors including cargo characteristics, trip characteristics, activity features, base location of commercial vehicle trips, and the attributes of intermediate stop locations affect the choice of tour chain strategy and the associated number of daily trips.
