• Abstract:
  The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) sponsored Project 0-4986, “An Assessment of Frontage Road ; Yield Treatments,” to assess the effectiveness of a wide variety of frontage road–exit ramp and frontage road–U-turn ; yield treatments that exist in Texas. Toward this goal, simulation modeling procedures compensated for the ; impracticability of the data collection effort that would be required to compile every possible combination of ; volume, geometry and yield treatment types. ; Researchers ran several simulations and generated significant numbers of measures of performance and comparative ; analysis. To better present the data in a more coherent manner, they developed a database tool to incorporate the ; results of the research and present these results in a format that would be useful to TxDOT staff.
