Highway Capacity and Quality of Service 2011

This issue contains 14 papers on the subject of highway capacity and quality of service. Specific topics discussed include the following: capacity models for roundabouts; speed-flow curves for freeways; running time prediction for signalized urban streets; capacity models for shared lanes at signalized intersections; estimating work zone capacity; inclement weather impact on left-turn gap acceptance; unconventional outside left-turn lane design impact on traffic operations at signalized intersections; effect of driver cell phone use on queue discharge patterns at signalized intersections; pedestrian and bicycle level of service; cycle-by-cycle queue length estimation for signalized intersections; managed lane access guidelines; heavy traffic delay at signalized intersections with short left-turn bays; capacity of multilane all-way stop-controlled intersections; and control delay at diverging diamond interchanges.
