Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety performance of long combination vehicles (LCVs) relative to the safety performance of passenger vehicles, straight trucks and bobtails, tractor semitrailers, and legal-length tractor double trailers operating on the LCV network and urban areas. Findings of the study will help define future truck size and weight policy for Alberta highways, and provide information to policy makers in Alberta and its trading partners concerning LCV safety.

Description

Reports the findings of a study to review the safety and the economic efficiency of Energy Efficient Motor Vehicles (EEMVs), also referred to as Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs), in Alberta, as well as to consider the relative competitiveness of the competing railway mode. The use of the larger LCV truck configurations was found to represent a significant reduction in the number of movements taking place on the highways, a significant transportation cost efficiency for users of truck transportation services, a major reduction in fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions and a larger reduction in pavement wear.

Description

Reports the findings of a study to review the safety and the economic efficiency of Energy Efficient Motor Vehicles (EEMVs), also referred to as Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs), in Alberta, as well as to consider the relative competitiveness of the competing railway mode. Findings show that efficient rail and trucking sectors are seen to function complementarily to each other, as beneficial components of the overall transportation "menu" available to shippers.
