Driving Forces Influencing Future Freight Flows
This interim report summarizes the findings from the first phase of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 20-83 (1) project. The objectives of phase 1 were to identify, categorize, and rank the driving forces and critical uncertainties that will influence the future freight transportation flows within the United States over the next 30 years. The results from phase 1 are to be used in phase 2 to help develop the set of future scenarios to utilize in the phase 3 workshops. The report is organized as follows. Section 1 gives an overview of the report. Section 2 provides details on the process and methodology used to uncover the driving forces and critical uncertainties. This includes a discussion of the Future Freight Flows Symposium, a review of the workshop materials tested, and a summary of the Stakeholders survey instrument. Section 3 presents the combined analysis of the results from these activities. Section 4 lays out the next steps by providing an update on Phase 2.
