Abstract:
The primary objective of this project is to identify data sources to measure freight fluidity and freight performance. The methodology included literature review, previous experiences assessment, and approaching relevant stakeholders. Based on the importance of freight on economic development, the study proposed a supply chain oriented focus by shifting the unit of measure, from vehicles to commodities. After reviewing and identifying available data sources, the research identified existing data sources and proposed new data components based on a set of basic data elements. The use of the identified data sources was demonstrated through a case study. Recommendations and future research are also explained.
