Advanced Traffic Operations Analysis and Design

Catalog description

Traffic stream characteristics-volume, flow rate, speed, density. Facility characteristics-level of service, capacity. Uninterrupted flow facility operations analysis: basic freeway segments, freeway weaving areas, merge and diverge areas, two-lane highways. Interrupted flow facility operations analysis: two-way and all-way stop controlled intersections; roundabouts. Non-highway facility operations analysis: pedestrian paths, bicycle paths and transit routes. Safety performance of highway facilities. Use of the Highway Capacity Manual and the Highway Capacity Software. Existing facility conditions, design upgrades.
