Title:

Identification and Evaluation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Highway Design Features to Reduce Nonrecurrent Congestion [supporting dataset]

Accession Number:

01780812

Record Type:

Monograph

Abstract:

Source: Provided by ITS DataHub (its.dot.gov/data) through the National Transportation Library. This project focused specifically on design treatments that can be used to improve travel time reliability. The objectives of this research were to (1) identify the full range of possible roadway design features used by transportation agencies to improve travel time reliability and reduce delays from key causes of nonrecurrent congestion, (2) assess their costs and operational and safety effectiveness, and (3) provide recommendations for their use and eventual incorporation into appropriate design guides. This research generated two companion products that allow transportation agencies and professionals to apply these research findings effectively in daily practice. These products are the Design Guide for Addressing Nonrecurrent Congestion, which is a catalogue of the design elements and their associated use information, and the Analysis Tool for Design Treatments to Address Nonrecurring Congestion, which is a tool to execute the various analysis procedures and models to measure the effectiveness of a design element on travel time reliability. This zip file contains comma separated value (.csv) files of data to support SHRP 2 Report S2-L07-RR-1, Identification and Evaluation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Highway Design Features to Reduce Nonrecurrent Congestion, https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/4040 The compressed zip file is 12 MB. These files can be unzipped using any zip compression/decompression software. The .csv files can be read with any basic text editor.
