California freight energy demand model
The California Freight Energy Demand Model has been developed to assist the California Energy Commission in forecasting rail-freight and truck fuel consumption in California and in exploring the effects of alternative scenarios on future fuel consumption. The model projects the volume of freight transported by truck and rail, truck stock and vehicle miles traveled, and truck and rail consumption of four types of fuel (gasoline, diesel fuel, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), and methanol). The projections are developed for 17 activities/commodities and 5 regions (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, and the rest of the state). The truck projections are also developed for 40 categories of size and body type. Internally, the model also distinguishes intrastate freight movements and four categories of interstate movements, and trucks are distinguished by age and whether they are generally used for local or nonlocal operation. The model develops projections from 1977 through 2004 based, in part, on exogenous projections of economic growth, by sector; fuel costs, by fuel type; other influences on transport costs, by model; and trends in rail and freight fuel efficiency.
