Overview

Krome Avenue is a real highway and the data used in the problems represent actual field data. In some cases the alternative intersection improvements discussed in this case study were chosen for their illustrative value, and do not necessarily reflect the recommendations of the original study.

After studying this material, you should be able to:

bullet

Analyze a facility and understand the criteria that are used to classify a roadway as an urban arterial or two-lane highway.

bullet

Understand what input data are required and the assumptions that are commonly made regarding default values for the HCM procedures for these facilities.

bullet

Know the appropriate kinds of analysis that should be undertaken, including the scope of a facility that should be included in an analysis.

bullet

Understand the limitations of the HCM procedures and when it is appropriate to use other models or computational tools.

bulletKnow how to reasonably interpret the results from an HCM analysis and how these results can be used to support a particular decision regarding a change to a transportation system.
