The FAF (Version 5) Network Nodes contains 348,498 node features. All node features are topologically connected to permit network pathbuilding and vehicle assignment using a variety of assignment algorithms. The FAF Node and the FAF Link datasets can be used together to create a network. The link features in the FAF Network dataset include all roads represented in prior FAF networks, and all roads in the National Highway System (NHS) and the National Highway Freight Network (NHFN) that are currently open to traffic. Other included links provide connections between intersecting routes, and to select intermodal facilities and all U.S. counties. The network consists of over 588,000 miles of equivalent road mileage. The dataset covers the 48 contiguous States plus the District of Columbia, Alaska, and Hawaii. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1528011 The Freight Analysis Framework (FAF), produced through a partnership between Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), integrates data from a variety of sources to create a comprehensive picture of freight movement among states and major metropolitan areas by all modes of transportation.

Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Update and integrate intermodal terminals. States geo-location matched and attributes verified. Update NHS and intermodal connector links. States edge matched and NHS attributes verified with HPMS 2012. Modified NHS codes as per direction of the FHWA to align with the MAP-21 changes as reported to HPMS 2012 database. Update National Network (NN) codes based on the information from FHWA Truck Size and Weight Regulation Study, 1998 as well as the HPMS “Truck” attribute. Update LCV codes based on FHWA Truck Size and Weight Regulations. Verified with state specific input from DOT website or direct contact. Modified NHS based on amendments. Update truck route restrictions code and include restrictions due to height and hazmat designation using the State data sources, and the Rand McNally truck road atlas.
