Since 1950, the Highway Capacity Manual has been a standard used in the planning, design, analysis, and operation of virtually any highway traffic facility in the United States. It has also been widely used abroad, and has spurred the development of similar manuals in other countries. The twin concepts of capacity and level of service have been developed in the manual, and methodologies have been presented that allow highway traffic facilities to be designed on a common basis, and allow for the analysis of operational quality under various traffic demand scenarios. The manual also addresses related pedestrian, bicycle, and transit issues. This book details the fundamental development of the ...
Since 1950, the Highway Capacity Manual has been a standard used in the planning, design, analysis, and operation of virtually any highway traffic facility in the United States. It has also been widely used around the globe and has inspired the development of similar manuals in other countries. This book is Volume II of a series on the conceptual and research origins of the methodologies found in the Highway Capacity Manual. It focuses on the most complex points in a traffic system: signalized and unsignalized intersections, and the concepts and methodologies developed over the years to model their operations. It also includes an overview of the fundamental concepts of capacity and level of service, particularly as applied to intersections. The historical roots of the manual and its contents are important to understanding current methodologies, and improving them in the future. As such, this book is a valuable resource for current and future users of the Highway Capacity Manual, as well as researchers and developers involved in advancing the state-of-the-art in the field.
The "Highway Capacity Manual" (HCM) is a collection of state-of-the-art techniques for estimating capacity and determining level of service for many transportation facilities and modes. This 1997 update of the HCM has been published to make the most current procedures available to the user community in a timely fashion. The current update includes extensive revisions to Chapters 3, 9, 10, and 11. Chapters 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 have been modified to make them consistent with other revised chapters.
"This new edition of the HCM adds a subtitle: A Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis. This underscores the HCM's focus on evaluating the operational performance of several modes, including pedestrians and bicycles, and their interactions. It is called the 6th Edition, with no year attached, and each chapter indicates a version number, to allow for updates."--PageV1-1.
