After careful assessment of travel time reliability terms and the results obtained in the various human factors studies and experiments conducted throughout the course of the Project L14, the research team established three key hypotheses related to the use and value of travel time reliability in
The Traffic Signal Operations Self Assessment is a tool to allow agencies to compare themselves with a composite of traffic signal operations best practices from agencies around the United States. Responses to the 2011 Traffic Signal Operations Self Assessment that were received by March 7, 2012
This document is intended to provide general guidance on the use of the computational engine for HCM Chapter 10, Freeway Facilities. This document is practitioner-friendly, not developer oriented. The focus is on how to use and interpret the results of the computational engine. Detailed discussio
The objectives of the first utility function laboratory study were (1) to assess the value participants placed on traveler information, and specifically reliability information, within the context of a simulated time-constrained trip, and (2) to determine whether having reliability information he
This guide is provided to inform traffic engineering managers of a general audit process that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of their program management of traffic signal and associated systems. An audit is performed to verify that people in an organization are doing what they planned
