The objectives of this research is to provide Tennessee DOT with guidance on truck parking issues and opportunities by identifying parking needs (i.e., addition of capacity and/or construction of new facilities); developing truck parking violation rates (i.e., truck parking on on- and off- ramps) and developing/applying a methodology to identify candidate locations for new truck parking facilities in the State of Tennessee. This research also developed one desktop and two web-based tools that allow Tennessee engineers and planners to perform data analysis and apply the methodology developed in this research in real time and also develop presentation material that can be used to inform the public and decision makers.
