THE INTERRELATIONSHIP OF FACTORS AFFECTING ROAD CAPACITY: EXPERIENCE AND EVALUATION OF A TESTING PROGRAM IN AN UNDERDEVELOPED AREA AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING A ROAD CAPACITY ESTIMATING METHOD

THESE TWO PAPERS ARE CONCERNED WITH THE IDENTIFICATION AND THE INTER-RELATIONSHIP OF FACTORS AFFECTING ROAD CAPACITY. A FIELD STUDY WAS CONDUCTED ON ROADS IN THAILAND WITH THE SUPPORT OF ARPA THROUGH ITS FIELD UNIT AT THE COMBAT DEVELOPMENT AND TEST CENTER IN BANGKOK.
