For the past several years researchers have attempted to describe "level of service" in both qualitative and quantitative terms. There is a need to establish parameters that: (1) reflect the quality of the trip or "level of service" afforded the motorist, and (2) are predictable for a given set of conditions. The energy-acceleration noise model is
