Advancing state freight plans with a commodity flow database
Rhode Island enhanced its freight plan with defensible data, creating clearer connections between freight movement and economic outcomes, supporting stronger funding narratives.
Truck parking is a top issue, but often lacks clear, consistent measurement. Observed truck behavior helps quantify demand, identify high-risk locations, and strengthen plan recommendations with credible data that aligns with safety, mobility, and federal reporting expectations.

How planners can forecast freight bottlenecks
Many bottlenecks are addressed too late: after delays, costs, and safety risks escalate. This article explores how early indicators in freight movement data can reveal where congestion is forming, helping planners act sooner and target the right locations.

NYC DOT replaced time-intensive manual speed monitoring with scalable, reliable analytics. It helped prioritize high-risk corridors, validate community safety concerns, and make faster, evidence-based traffic-calming decisions.

SCAG used origin-destination data to gain a clearer view of freight movement across one of the nationβs most complex regions, improving how bottlenecks, last-mile trends, and infrastructure needs were identified and prioritized.

A vehicleβs purpose: Providing vocation insights to transportation planners
Transportation funding is competitive. Counting trucks isnβt enough. Understanding vehicle vocation β what those trucks are actually doing β helps you define corridor problems with precision and validate project decisions with observed evidence.
When your project is grounded in real-world freight behavior, decisions become clearer and timelines move faster. Get the data you need to validate your approach and deliver results for your corridor, site, or region.
