FAF³ Network Database and Flow Assignment: 2007 and 2040

The Freight Analysis Framework estimates commodity movements by truck and the volume of long distance trucks over specific highways. Models are used to disaggregate interregional flows from the Commodity Origin-Destination Database into flows among localities and assign the detailed flows to individual highways. These models are based on geographic distributions of economic activity rather than a detailed understanding of local conditions. While FAF provides reasonable estimates for national and multi-state corridor analyses, FAF estimates are not a substitute for local data to support local planning and project development.
