  2. Highway Capacity Manual - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_Capacity_Manual

    The first edition of the Highway Capacity Manual was released in 1950 and contained 147 pages broken apart into eight parts. It was the result of a collaborative effort between the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Bureau of Public Roads, the predecessor to the Federal Highway Administration. [1]

  3. Canadian Capacity Guide For Signalized Intersections

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Capacity_Guide...

    The Guide focuses on the ratio of volume to capacity as a rational measure of how well the intersection is accommodating demand, but it is acknowledged that delay is also widely used (for example, in the Highway Capacity Manual). Whether one parameter or the other is the most relevant is the subject of ongoing debate in the profession.

  4. Intersection capacity utilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_Capacity...

    The primary output from ICU is similar to the intersection volume to capacity ratio. Some of the benefits to using ICU over delay-based methods include greater accuracy, and a clear image of the intersection's volume to capacity ratio. [3] ICU method has been subject to some competition from the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Both methods are ...

    The following section pertains to only North American highway LOS standards as in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) and AASHTO Geometric Design of Highways and Streets ("Green Book"), using letters A through F, with A being the best and F being the worst, similar to academic grading. A: free flow. Traffic flows at or above the posted speed ...

  7. Traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_flow

    One major reference used by American planners is the Highway Capacity Manual, [5] published by the Transportation Research Board, which is part of the United States National Academy of Sciences. This recommends modelling traffic flows using the whole travel time across a link using a delay/flow function, including the effects of queuing.

  8. Transportation Research Board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_Research_Board

    The Transportation Research Board was established in 1920 as the "National Advisory Board on Highway Research" and changed its name to the "Highway Research Board" from 1925 until 1974, when it was renamed again as the "Transportation Research Board."

    In ARCADY 8, [7] the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 methodology for roundabout analysis was made available. ARCADY 8 also introduced a simulation technique to deal with the modelling of certain configurations, such as lane usage at roundabouts. 'ARCADY Lite' is a simplified version of ARCADY 8 that provides basic analysis of roundabouts.
