For the NSTI study, itwas determined that traffic would be modeled for four time periods:• AM Peak—6:00 AM to 8:30 PM• Midday—8:30 AM to 3:00 PM• PM Peak—3:00 PM to 5:30 PM• Night—5:30 PM to 6:00 AM.The diurnal distribution of SU and MU truck traffic counts can be derived empirically from a sample ofexisting traffic counts. One problem with this approach is that the diurnal distribution of traffic onroadways can be expected to vary considerably, depending upon urban area type (urban, suburban,rural) and facility type (interstate freeway, principal arterials, local roads, freeway ramps). Moreover, thediurnal distribution factors need to be applied directly to the daily truck tables in which a trip between agiven origin and destination might pass through multiple urban area types and use multiple facility types.Truck <strong>Model</strong> - Base-Year Truck <strong>Model</strong> Development 26
