Overview
Project Purpose:
A research project sponsored by FHWA was to develop new and/or updated methodologies, data sets, and content for the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) that would better reflect the demand and traffic flow behavior that result from the application of Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) concepts and strategies.
Although the new methodology is currently limited in its ability to model dynamic operations, the method allows for the analysis of operational strategies under varying demand and capacity conditions, which serves as an important foundation for analyzing ATDM as well as other operational strategies.
