Abstract
This line data layer represents the Freight Analysis Framework 2.2, Region 5 for the Upper Midwest in 2010. The Upper Midwest includes: Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The dataset was originally published by the Federal Highway Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in 2010.["Freight Analysis Framework 2.2 Network Machine Readable Data Files" are distributed by the Federal Highway Administration Office of Freight Management and Operations, Operations Core Business Unit, Washington DC, 2007]
Purpose
This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [The spatial component of the FAF 2.2 network is derived from National Highway Planning Network Version 2005.08 and contains National Highway System (NHS), National Network (NN) and several intermodal connectors as appropriate for the freight network modeling. The network consists of over 447,407 miles of equivalent road mileage. The data set covers the 48 contiguous States, Alaska, Canadian routes that connects Alaska to the contiguous States and the District of Columbia. The nominal scale of the data set is 1:100,000 with a maximal positional error of ±80 meters.]
