RSG Report Published by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)
The RSG report “Estimating Truck Trip Generation for Airport Air Cargo Activity,” co-authored by RSG's Kaveh Shabani, was just published by the Transportation Research Board’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP).
The existing literature and research regarding air cargo facility-related truck trip generation rates is limited in both scope and detail. In addition, the complexity of the modern air cargo industry makes it difficult to obtain the data necessary to develop truck trip generation rates. This synthesis of practice compiles information from experience to develop methods and tools to support the planning and development of roadway infrastructure at a range of airport sizes and types of cargo facilities.
