Overview:
This webinar will feature the following speakers:
Becky Knudson, Senior Transportation Economist, Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT)
Ms. Knudson will discuss ODOT’s use of FAF data to support transportation
investment decision-making in Oregon, including how ODOT has used FAF4
data for bottlenecks, commodity flows, and freight flow forecasting
analyses.
Casey Langford, Policy Office Supervisor-Long Range Planning Division,
Tennessee DOT (TnDOT)
Kevin Teagarden, Policy Planning Specialist-Long Range Planning Division,
TnDOT
Sabyasachee Mishra, Assistant Professor-Department of Civil Engineering,
University of Memphis
Mihalis Golias, Associate Professor-Department of Civil Engineering,
University of Memphis
Dr. Langford, Mr. Teagarden, Dr. Mishra and Dr. Golias will discuss a joint
effort by TnDOT and the University of Memphis to develop a resource
allocation model using FAF4 and other datasets. By applying this model,
TnDOT identified low-cost, high-impact transportation projects as well as
when, where, and which projects should be implemented. The speakers will
also discuss how FAF4 data and the resource allocation model support
TnDOT’s overall transportation planning and policy decision-making
activities.
