Improvement of Planning Level Analysis Procedures for Two-Lane Highways

There were three main research components to this project. The first component addressed the issue of testing the revisions to the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2000 two-lane highway directional analysis methodology as part of NCHRP 20-7 (task 160) and implementing these revisions into the HIGHPLAN software program. The second component addressed the issue of two-lane highway classification categories and the preferred level of service performance measures for those categories. The third component addressed the development of a methodology for performing a two-lane highway level of service analysis at the facility level, primarily with respect to the combination of basic two-lane highway segments and signalized intersections.
