This report summarizes an investigation of possible techniques to illustrate peak-hour person and vehicle movement for different travel modes in major transportation corridors. Several procedures that would produce estimates of freeway, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane and/or rail transit line operation were identified. These procedures were evaluated as to their data requirements, reasonableness of results and ability to produce intuitively correct conclusions. The recommended equations enable the user to compare peak-hour operation of freeway main lanes and adjacent HOV lanes or rail transit lines to estimate the effect of increased person movement provided by high-capacity, high-speed transportation alternatives.
High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities represent one approach being used in many metropolitan areas today to respond to increasing traffic congestion...
This program guidance provides the concepts, history, precepts, and purpose of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, as well as to explain what authorit...
