• Abstract:
  The report contains the results of a study to revise the HEEM program to evaluate HOV projects and make other improvements in the program. It can also serve as the combined user's guide and programmer's supplement for the revised HEEM, now called HEEM-II. The revised program (HEEM-II) can evaluate 29 more highway types (improvements), including HOV types, than the original HEEM. It also can allocate traffic to different routes in a corridor segment on a minimum user cost basis. Also, it uses updated unit costs and assumed values, a different time horizon for calculating the benefit/cost ratio, two corridor traffic projections to determine the shape of the traffic growth curve, and corrected specification table values. Last, the tabular and graphic output format is more informative.
