We investigated the feasibility and desirability of implementing mathematical freight forecasting models to be operated by the Ohio Department of Transportation. We interviewed potential users to elicit what they considered desirable model outputs and conducted a survey of freight forecasting efforts in other state DOT's. The many different outputs mentioned by potential Ohio users indicate a need for a general model. Despite many available freight models proposed in the literature, our survey results show that few states can be considred to be active in comprehensive freight forecasting. Still, several appear active in aspects of freight forecasting, primarily addressing truck trips and using a few publicly available databases, often supplemented with private data and special data collection efforts. More detailed investigations of statewide freight models being developed in three states showed that the models in these states are all being developed by consultants and esigned to address statewide passenger, as well as freight forecasting.
