Guide to Effective Freeway Performance Measurement: Final Report and Guidebook

This report examines the effective use of freeway performance measures in operating a freeway system and in meeting the information needs of a large spectrum of potential local, regional, and national users. The guidebook is structured to answer four primary questions about freeway performance: 1) what measures should be used; 2) how can the measures be developed with data and models; 3) how should freeway performance be communicated; and 4) how can freeway performance measures be used in decision making. The report includes detailed step-by-step procedures for addressing these four primary issues associated with freeway performance monitoring.
