KAI's Transportation Education Series provides interactive presentation sessions intended to promote professional development and advancements in transportation engineering and planning.
Do you need better methods for estimating delay, capacity, speed, and reliability for:
Have you tried using or considered using the Highway Capacity Manual but have not found it practical or convenient to use for planning? Would you like a guide to help you more accurately estimate delay, speed, and reliability, and in the process help you use the HCM more efficiently and effectively for your planning analysis?
The Transportation Research Board of the National Academies has listened to planners, who have said they want a planning applications guide to assist them in using the HCM. Through National Cooperative Highway Research Program Project 7-22, this guide is being developed. We’ve listened to what planners have said they want in a planning applications guide, and we’ve developed a draft of this guidebook. In this workshop we will:
a. Is it useful?
b. What is missing?
c. What needs more explanation?
There is no cost for this workshop – all we need is your commitment and participation. We will provide refreshments.
