- Abstract
- Freight Analysis Framework is a line theme representing National Highway System (NHS), National Network (NN) and several intermodal connectors as appropriate for the freight network modeling in the United States. "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
- 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.

- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- All node and link topological relationships and uniqueness of entity IDs are verified by computer algorithm.
- Completeness Report
- The completed FAF 2.2 network was delivered to the FHWA on Match 2007.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- As reported in the NHPN version 2005.08 metadata, the elements of the NHPN have been conflated to the 1:100,000 DLG-3 data set which maintains a nominal accuracy of at least 80 meters. Where new roads have been added which are not in the DLG-3 database link alignments have been digitized or converted from digital sources acquired from State DOTs with a map scale of at least 1:100,000.
