Overview
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Operations sponsored a research project to develop new and updated methodologies, data sets, and content for the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) that will better reflect the demand and traffic flow behavior that results from the application of Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) concepts and strategies. This project was completed in June 2013.
This is the fourth in a series of informational briefs on ATDM analysis:
- ATDM Analysis Brief #1 introduced this project.
- ATDM Analysis Brief #2 described the technical analysis method.
- ATDM Analysis Brief #3 provides an example application of the analysis method for converting a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane to a high occupancy toll (HOT) lane with dynamic congestion pricing.
- ATDM Analysis Brief #4 (the subject of this brief) illustrates the application of the method to travel demand management (TDM) for incident management.
These analysis briefs as well other ATDM program briefs are available on the FHWA Office of Operations Publications page.
