The analysis, based on truck GPS data from more than 800,000 heavy duty trucks, uses several customized software applications and analysis methods.
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), Arlington, Va., released its annual list highlighting the most congested bottlenecks for trucks in America.
The 2018 Top Truck Bottleneck List assesses the level of truck-oriented congestion at 300 locations on the national highway system. The analysis, based on truck GPS data from more than 800,000 heavy duty trucks, uses several customized software applications and analysis methods, along with terabytes of data from trucking operations to produce a congestion impact ranking for each location. ATRI's truck GPS data is used to support the FHWA-sponsored Freight Performance Measures initiative.
