Abstract:

The constraints of limited funding, increasing demand and environmental impact have led to an increase in Transportation Systems Management (TSM) improvements on surface transport systems. TSM improvements are typically low-cost alternatives, implemented within existing roadway rights-of-way. The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report No. 263, 'Simplified Procedures for Evaluating Low-Cost TSM Projects -- User's Manual' published in October 1983, provides an excellent base for developing and selecting a cost-effective combination of improvements for a section of an arterial street or for a point on the street network. As a part of a comprehensive training program on NCHRP Report 263, three computer-aided evaluation and training modules were developed. This paper summarizes these modules.
