Process Description
Task 1: Update FAF3 Highway Network
•Updating of the FAF3 network for NHS, Intermodal connectors, and urban by-pass other State specific sources for major highway realignment.
•Integration and updating of NN designation, NHS designation changes (up to-date March 2010), LCV network designation, state truck and hazmat route designation, state truck route restriction, limited bridge clearance
Task 2: Pre-Assigning non-FAF Traffic Counts to the FAF3 Network
• Integrate HPMS 2008 data with FAF3 network using a series of state specific route matching algorithms customized for each State.
• Develop algorithms to translate the HPMS traffic-flow information to the FAF network domain
• Calibrate state traffic flows and truck percentage at the state and urban boundaries
Task 3: Truck Trips, Payload and Passenger Car Equivalency Factors
•Revise FAF-2 algorithms and factors using the TEP project completed for FHWA in 2009.
•Update the conversion tools developed by Battelle during FAF-2 to reflect the new changes in FAF-3 zone and gateways system and the range of operation by truck classes
•Develop Truck based O-D matrix using the TEP and allocation of tonnage by truck classes.

Process DescriptionTask 4: Assignment of FAF3 Flows to the Highway Network
•Develop and update FAF-2 link specific Impedance factors
•Develop and identify disaggregation network specific nodes to develop 123 by 123 OD matrix to 4609 by 4609 O-D matrix
•Develop disaggregation factors for domestic and international movements.
•Use TransCAD SUE traffic assignment with passenger volume as preloaded volume on the network
•Calibrate flow by adjusting initial link impedance, alpha, beta values, and disaggregation factors
•Use BPR delay functions
•Multiple trial and error iteration until FAF truck flows is comparable with the state truck flows develop in task 2
•Compare HPMS truck VMT with the FAF truck VMT for the base year 2007

Identify vehicle groups
Calculate TEF-National-Regional
Select major body types Calculate percent
distribution by vehicle group and body type
Calculate mean payloads by vehicle group and body type
Calibrate mean payloads (e.g. VTRIS weight data)
Analyze Regionalvariability

Conversion Algorithms
• Xi tons of commodity i carried by truck type Y j and body type k
= Xi βijk
• Number of truck type Yj and body type k to move
Xi βijk tons commodity i
= Xi βijk / ωijk
βijk = fraction of commodity i moved by truck type j with body type k
ωijk = mean payload of commodity i by truck type j body type k
