Texas’ transportation system was built over multiple decades. As a result, many facil-ities, especially roadways, were not designed for today’s freight vehicles and transpor-tation requirements. The mismatch of freight vehicles and infrastructure design can affect important performance factors like safety, reliability and asset preservation. In addition, significant technological advances are changing the way freight moves, especially in terms of the vehicles used to move freight. Freight Infrastructure Design Considerations (FIDC) will assess design practices for infrastructure components such as pavement, bridges, rail crossings, intersections, tunnels and access points to the Texas Multimodal Freight Network.
