The high percentage of CMV-involved crashes in Fort Worth merit a focused study of these crashes. Therefore, we developed a CMV Crash HIN as part of the HIN development process to help identify locations that have a higher concentration of historical CMV crashes. Truck crashes, when they occur, can result in serious injuries and death, in addition to causing disruptions that delay truck travel. Even non-recurring or less severe crashes can still disrupt travel and create delays, impacting freight reliability, consumers, and businesses alike. This trend proposed the need for better freight safety analysis and freight traffic management in Fort Worth.
3 Source: Replica. These are typical daily trips on a weekday from Replica. Freight trips were obtained by filtering down to commercial vehicle (freight) mode and intersecting with the city (trips that started, ended, or passed through the selected city); Replica confidence level to the total trip data - High Certainty, freight trip data - Medium Certainty
4 Freight Trip VMT are calculated by multiplying freight trips with the average miles
