Driver Population Adjustment Factors for the Highway Capacity Manual Work Zone Capacity Equation
This paper presents a proposed enhancement to the current methodology for assessing capacity in work zones. Research into the impact of driver behavior in work zone related merge areas has revealed … [Read more...] about Driver Population Adjustment Factors for the Highway Capacity Manual Work Zone Capacity Equation
Calibrating Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) for Highway Work Zones using Speed and Percentage of Trucks
In the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2000), capacity is expressed as the unit passenger cars per hour per lane (pcphpl). The number of passenger cars a single vehicle is equivalent to is the passenger … [Read more...] about Calibrating Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) for Highway Work Zones using Speed and Percentage of Trucks
Capacity and Road User Cost Analysis of Selected Freeway Work Zones in Texas
This research was developed to produce usable and meaningful estimates for work zone capacities under a variety of roadway and traffic conditions, work zone configurations, and lane closure scenarios … [Read more...] about Capacity and Road User Cost Analysis of Selected Freeway Work Zones in Texas
Freeway Work Zone Lane Capacity
The focus of this report is a capacity analysis of two long-term urban freeway Work Zones. Work Zone #1 tapered four mainline lanes to two, using two separate tapers; Work Zone #2 tapered two mainline … [Read more...] about Freeway Work Zone Lane Capacity
Impact of Trucks on Arterial LOS and Freeway Work Zone Capacity Part B: Freeway Work Zone Capacity
The existing FDOT lane closure analysis method was developed several years ago, and it is the desire of the Department to evaluate and update it accordingly. The objective of this research was to … [Read more...] about Impact of Trucks on Arterial LOS and Freeway Work Zone Capacity Part B: Freeway Work Zone Capacity
