Abstract

The impacts on the Chicago traffic system of introducing preferential truck routing and terminals clustering are simulated. By channelizing heavy truck flows along a subset of the region's major highways, and linking such routes to terminal clusters, a more economical as well as environmentally appealing urban goods movement system is being sought. A sample Year 2000 plan is described. The model is meant for strategic planning, and works on a partially aggregated sketch planning highway network.
