1994 CHANGES TO CHAPTER 9 OF THE 1985 HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL (SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS)

This paper describes the important, significant and useful changes which have been made to Chapter 9 of the Highway Capacity Manual. These changes incorporate new research and fix identified problems with the existing materials of Chapter 9, and as such are intended to advance the state of the art of signalized intersection capacity analysis. These changes are also designed to remove some of the ambiguities which have existed in the Chapter, thereby allowing users and related software to produce more consistent analyses. Software such as the HCS from McTrans for capacity analysis and SIGNAL85/TEAPAC from Strong Concepts for optimization using the new methods is anticipated to be released concurrently with the updated HCM document.
