OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
FMIP was launched in 2004 by the US Department of Transportation
Managed by the Office of Freight Management and Operations of the Federal Highway Administration
In collaboration with US Department of Agriculture US Department of Energy US Army Corps of Engineers
Supported by Oak Ridge National Laboratory
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Premises upon which FMIP is based
Current methods for forecasting freight are inadequate
Freight demand models typically based on passenger travel demand forecasting; freight is different
Practitioners are calling for improvements in both the state of the art and the state of practice in modeling freight
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
FMIP was initiated to…
Enhance state of the art and state of practice in freight modeling at national, regional, and local scales
Primary focus on forecasting movements of commodities (trucks, trains, and vessels)
Secondary focus on models of public revenues, environmental consequences, economic consequences, and other societal costs and benefits
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Relationship of FMIP to the Freight Analysis Framework (FAF)
FMIP bridges gap between FAF’s national focus with needs of local planning
FMIP is a forum to help practitioners and researchers develop local understanding of freight through local data collection and modeling built on the national picture provided by the FAF
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
A key component of FMIP is FMIP.GOV
A clearinghouse designed to provide up-to-date information on current developments in freight modeling
Disseminate inventories and assessments of freight modeling strategies and related data collection methods
Develop a library of current research, data, and methods
Encourage discussion and comments on posted items
Encourage customers to submit copies of their own work
Support direct peer-to-peer exchanges

Keys to Success?
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
First, understand the basic questions being asked…
What and how much freight will be shipped?
Origins and destinations?
By what mode? Or more appropriately modes…
By what route?
At what cost?
At what transit time?
How will the answer to each question change over time?
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
And understand why we ask these basic questions… Safety, Health, and Environmental Impacts
National Security
Congestion
Damage to infrastructure caused by freight
Urban Planning and Smart Growth
A better understanding of the relationship between freight transport and the economy – local, state, regional, national, international
Assess the need for and viability of new and improved transportation infrastructure – at local, state, regional, national, and even international levels
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Recognize that our perception of freight modeling and the path forward depend in part on our discipline, e.g.
Civil Engineering
Transportation Planning
Geography
Operations Research
Management Science
Economics
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
On our geographic scale of interest…
Local
State
Regional
National
International
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
And on the role we play…e.g.
Transportation Analyst
Academic Researcher
Planner
Private Sector Decision Maker
Public Sector Decision Maker
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORYU. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Improvements in freight modeling will depend on Clearly articulating the objectives of freight
models and studies
Adopting Multi-modal and Inter-modal approaches
Multi-disciplinary and Inter-disciplinary collaboration with common terminology
International collaboration
Wisely meshing the theoretical with the empirical; and the ideal with the practical
Making the most of current data, while laying a course for data improvements
