SHRP 2 Project Brief: Operations Guide to Improving Highway Capacity
|
|
Greetings!
When considering how to improve highway capacity, decision makers would benefit greatly from being able to compare the capacity gain of operational improvements to that of adding a lane. Applying enhanced models, diagnostic tools, and analytic methodology can provide a more realistic basis for such comparisons. Analysis methods can evaluate improvement strategies across the full spectrum of operations, technology, and design; and they can provide performance measures to evaluate different strategies according to their impacts at the point, link, corridor, and network levels. A SHRP 2 project developed a guide to using enhanced simulation methods that can test the impact of alternative traffic operations solutions and demonstrate whether or not they solve a problem.
