There are many ways to classify traffic analysis problems that
are appropriate for analysis with the HCM. The graphic below includes
seven categories which are intended to help characterize the types of issues
that you will encounter in this Case Study. These issues are highlighted
in BLUE. The
numbers under the "HCM Part II", "HCM Part III, and "HCM Part IV" headings
refer to the relevant chapter numbers in the HCM2000.
