Abstract:

This paper demonstrates application of the principles of economic analysis to

evaluate highway capacity expansion in an urban setting, using a

sketch-planning model called Spreadsheet Model for Induced Travel Estimation

(SMITE). The application takes into account new travel that may be induced by

highway expansion over and above that which is simply diverted from other

regional highways. The paper demonstrates how the effects of induced travel can

be incorporated into the evaluation process at a sketch planning level of

analysis, especially in cases where four-step urban travel models are either

unavailable or are unable to forecast the full induced demand effects, such as

in small and medium-sized urban areas. The methodology and the SMITE spreadsheet

can be used to provide useful information to assist policy makers in evaluating

proposals for specific additions to highway capacity for corridor studies. 12p.
