• Abstract:
  It has been found that allowing vanpools to use high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes is an effective means of increasing the vehicular utilization of those facilities. Vanpools are readily identifiable and, as a result, can be relatively easily controlled. They are compatible with the Houston philosophy that only authorized vehicles be permitted to use the HOV lanes. Vanpools have increased rapidly in Texas over the past several years. In planning high-occupancy vehicle lanes, if vanpools are to be potential users, it is critical to be able to obtain "ballpark" estimates of potential vanpooling. This report develops techniques for estimating vanpool demand primarily using data from Houston, Texas.
