ACCURACY OF CAPACITY MODELS FOR PERMISSIVE LEFT TURNS FROM AN EXCLUSIVE LANE. SESSION 7
This research evaluated the accuracy of models of left turn capacities by comparing their estimates with actual field observations. In addition, the research explored the structure of selected capacity models through a series of parametric sensitivity analyses. These tests were intended to reveal those parameters which are most important in each left turn capacity model. Armed with this information, a traffic engineer will know which parameters need to be most accurately measured in the field to obtain reliable capacity estimates. The research concluded by discussing desirable attributes to left turn capacity estimation models. (Author)
