Overnight Demand Forecasts
Overnight Demand — Modified CTDOT Methodology*
Parking demand for long haul trips requiring overnight rest time. Overnight demand is forecasted using the total truck volume on a corridor, multiplied by the number of truck-driving hours, multiplied by the percent of off-duty time within a work week, multiplied by a peak hour factor
*Overnight methodology adapted from CTDOT, modified by modeling team
Daily LH Driving Hours
Driving Hours = AADT * % Trucks * % LH Trips on Corridor
Overnight LH Parking Hours
Total Overnight Demand = LH Hours * % Of Off-Duty time in Week (0.635)
Peak Overnight Demand
Peak Overnight Demand = Total Overnight Demand * Peak Hour Factor (0.09)
