Abstract:

This research was performed to complete and advance the status of recently developed

procedures for analysis and design of weaving sections (known as the Leisch method and-initially published in the 1979 issue of ITE Journal). The objective was to

enlarge upon and complete the earlier work through calibration of the method by using

data from the BPR Weaving Area Study, NCHRP Project 3-15, and studies of Institute

for Research of Pennsylvania State College; also to expand and refine the initial

statistical analysis to provide full documentation; as well as to update the nomographs

previously developed, including a demonstration of problem solutions for

application.

The research and development conducted closely verified the previous work, and largely

expanded on documentation and application of the procedure.

The general framework of the procedure is patterned to some degree upon the 1965

Highway Capacity Manual in order to maintain familiarity and ease of applica-tion.

This was verified in using the technique, allowing fer relatively siMple and rapid

solutions. The method is applica6le to both design and operational analysis situations,

and oriented to be in consonance with .ll.ASHTO Design Policies.

The report is presented in two parts: Volume 1--covering the development and verification

of the procedure; and Volume 2--providing a users guide to demonstrate the

solution of a variety of weaving problems.
