Accession Number: 00301077
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A bus demonstration conducted in January 1978 in Honolulu is reported. The purpose of the demonstration was to determine the bus capacity of Hotel Street, the major bus corridor in the Honolulu central business district, under existing traffic and roadway conditions. Although buses were metered into both directions of Hotel Street at flow rates of 60, 120, 138, and 150 buses/h, only 100 to 120 buses/h could actually enter the system. Restrictions within the system further reduced bus flow. Major bottlenecks are identified, and the resulting impacts on vehicles, pedestrians, and the environment are assessed. It is concluded that directional bus capacity on Hotel Street was 95-100 buses/h at average speeds that ranged from 3 to 5 km/h (2 to 3 mph). /Author/
