This paper is based on research carried out for an Austroads internal report prepared by SKM on the current state of practice in freight modelling and considers how it may be applied in an Australian context. It represents the private views of the authors and is not intended to represent either the Austroads report or the views of Austroads. The paper: 1. Considers the state of practice in land freight and/or commercial vehicle models internationally, 2. Identifies the data requirements to implement them; 3. Compares data requirements to datasets currently available in Australia; and 4. Makes recommendations for improvements to current practice.
