This fall, the Center for Transportation Innovations in Education and Research (CTIER) in the University of Memphis Herff College of Engineering completed its research project on the demand and supply of truck parking facilities in the state of Tennessee. Sponsored by the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the Freight Mobility Research Institute, the research found that the state of Tennessee does not exhibit a significant issue with truck parking capacity with a majority of its interstate network categorized as having “adequate capacity.”

Principal investigator Dr. Mihalis Golias, Civil Engineering professor, headed the research team consisting of co-principal investigators Dr. Sabya Mishra, Civil Engineering associate professor; Dr. Christopher R. Cherry, associate department head of Undergraduate Studies and Civil and Environmental Engineering professor at the University of Tennessee (UT); Airton Kohls, research associate III at the UT Center for Transportation Research; and Daniel Murray, vice president of the American Transportation Research Institute. Dimitrios Giampouranis in the UofM Department of Civil Engineering was research assistant.
