Monograph

This collection of 15 papers addresses the subject of highway capacity and quality of service. Specific topics discussed include the following: multimodal level of service for urban streets; impact of inclement weather on freeway traffic; capacity reduction at incidents; automobile user perception of quality of service on urban streets; default values for highway capacity and level-of-service analyses; estimating the capacity of U-turns at unsignalized intersections; delay estimation with oversaturated conditions; an incremental queue accumulation method to replace the Highway Capacity Manual signalized intersection uniform delay and queue method; modeling left-turn blockage and capacity at a signalized intersection; calibration of roundabout models; performance indicators for two-lane rural highways; delay at unsignalized intersections; control-type selection at isolated intersections; driver behavior and gap acceptance at roundabouts; and actuated signal-controlled intersection capacity analysis with pedestrians.
