Monograph

This issue contains 14 papers which address the subject of highway capacity and quality of service. Specific topics discussed include the following: the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual operational analysis methodology for interchange ramp terminals; the operational impact of left-turn waiting areas at signalized intersections; implementing auxiliary through lanes; right-turn-on-red capacity for dual right-turn lanes at signalized intersections; the effects of signal countdown timers on queue discharge characteristics; distribution function of critical gaps at unsignalized intersections; work zone capacity; drivers following on two-lane rural highways; incorporating queue discharge flow into Highway Capacity Manual procedure for analysis of freeway facilities; inclement weather impact on two capacity flows at recurring freeway bottlenecks; speed-flow relationships for managed lane segments; the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual capacity model for single-lane roundabouts; capacity drop in highway merging sections; and deterministic approach to managed lane analysis on freeways.
