Abstract Estimating and forecasting freight movements in today's heavily congested Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area demands sophisticated models and analytics well beyond the capability of traditional tools. The region is home to many major freight facilities representing all modes, yet geography and dense urban development provide limited infrastructure expansion options. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration(MDOT SHA), Baltimore Region Transportation Board (BRTB), and the Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC), understood that these factors as well as the intricacies of international supply chains and the need to account for trip-chaining behavior of commercial truck drivers in urban areas presented complexities for which they needed innovative data models.
