As freight transportation volumes have grown rapidly—further spurred by pandemic-driven e-commerce growth—state departments of transportation (DOTs) have become increasingly reliant on probe data to monitor freight infrastructure performance, manage demand, and understand freight infrastructure needs.
NCHRP Synthesis 611: Use of Probe Data for Freight Planning and Operations, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, documents current state DOT practices regarding the use of probe data in freight planning and operations management applications to close this gap in understanding.
