OSTI ID:6045683

Contents include: further analysis of the flow-concentration; passenger car equivalents for trucks on level freeway segments; transitions in the speed-flow relationship; FREESIM: a microscopic simulation model of freeway lane closures; integrated modeling of freeway flow and application to microcomputers; statistical analysis of output ratios in traffic simulation; a model for predicting free-flow speeds based on probabilistic limiting velocity; comparative analysis of models for estimating delay for oversaturated conditions at fixed-time traffic signals; peaking characteristics of rural-road traffic; field validation of intersection capacity factors; analysis of the proposed use of delay-based levels of service at signalized intersections; saturation flows of exclusive double left-turn lanes; use and effectiveness of simple linear regression to estimate saturation flows at signalized intersections; freeway weaving section; a comparison of the 1985 highway capacity manual and the signal operations analysis package 84; entering headway at signalized intersections in a small metropolitan area; and traffic operation on busy two-lane rural roads in the netherlands.
