Congratulations to CETOC Director Guang Tian for his most recent grant from the Louisiana Transportation Research Center as Co-PI with Bethany Stich to address truck parking issues across the state of Louisiana!
University of New Orleans professor Dr. Bethany Stich received a $220,000 research grant from the Louisiana Transportation Research Center to identify solutions to the state’s truck parking problem. The shortage of truck parking is a longstanding issue in the trucking industry, according to Stich. Nationally, there are more than 11 truck drivers for every one parking space. “Truck drivers need to rest and stage their trucks,” said Stich, "but many truck parking locations have irregularly shaped ‘footprints’ and lack identifiable delineation for truck parking spaces. As a result, a given location may be able to accommodate 25 trucks, but it may only yield space for 13 or 14 trucks. Providing real-time truck parking availability information for approaching trucks on the highway is problematic but utterly necessary.” Dr. Stich is the principal investigator on the grant, and Dr. Guang Tian, associate professor of planning and urban studies, is the co-principal investigator.
