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
