Policy Options and Highway Capacity Needs
One of the recurring criticisms levelled against FHWA's Report to Congress on the Status of the Nation's Highways is that the Report does not go far enough in examining the implications...
Better Ways to Update Trip Matrices
Updating origin-destination (OD) trip matrices usually involves considerable survey costs, so engineers are often forced to use dated OD information, which can seriously undermine the...
Synthesis of Traffic Signal Timing for the Highway Capacity Manual Planning Analysis
The 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) provides a technique to analyze the operation of signalized intersections. The Highway Capacity Software (HCS) is a microcomputer package that faithfully...
An Expert System Analysis of the Signal Operational Analysis Package Results
An expert system is a type of artificial intelligence program that captures the human knowledge which is involved in making a decision. Expert systems are very suitable for solving problems...
