CAPACITY ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR DESIGN OF SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS - INSTALLMENT NO 2 PART IV - HIGH TYPE FACILITIES AND INTERCHANGES

PROCEDURES ARE PRESENTED FOR THE GRAPHIC SOLUTION OF CAPACITY PROBLEMS RELATED TO SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS. THE PROCEDURES ARE BASED ON A SET OF CHARTS CONSISTING OF TWENTY NOMOGRAPHS. EIGHTEEN OF THE NOMOGRAPHS TOGETHER WITH APPROPRIATE APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SAMPLE PROBLEMS WERE PRESENTED IN A PREVIOUS INSTALLMENT. THE OTHER TWO NOMOGRAPHS AND THE REMAINDER OF THE ARTICLE ARE PRESENTED HERE. THE NOMOGRAPHIC CHARTS AND PROCEDURES WERE DEVISED BY THE AUTHOR IN 1950 TO SIMPLIFY THE COMPUTATIONAL PROCEDURES OF THE 1950 HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL. SINCE PUBLICATION OF THE 1965 HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL HAS PROVIDED A REVISED AND COMPREHENSIVE BASIS FOR CAPACITY COMPUTATIONS, THE AUTHOR HAS AGAIN FILLED THE NEED FOR A GRAPHIC PROCEDURE INCORPORATING CURRENT KNOWLEDGE. THE ORIGINAL CHARTS WERE UPDATED AND NEW CHARTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED TO COVER CAPACITY PROCEDURES FOR WHICH CALCULATIONS PREVIOUSLY REQUIRED EXTENSIVE APPLICATION OF JUDGMENT. THE INFORMATION PRESENTED PROVIDES A GRAPHIC PROCEDURE FOR THE CAPACITY ANALYSIS OF MOST SIGNALIZED STREET AND HIGHWAY INTERSECTIONS. FULL DISCUSSION OF THE PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES IN THE APPLICATION OF THE CHARTS IN ADDITION TO SAMPLE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED.
