TRB will conduct a webinar on Monday, March 25, 2019 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that features research from the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)’s Web-Only Document 255: Improved Analysis of Two-Lane Highway Capacity and Operational Performance.
This webinar will describe the development of a new two-lane highway analysis methodology that introduce features that supplement and replace several aspects of the existing two-lane highway analysis methodology in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Two-lane highways account for a significant portion of the national highway system, and two-lane highways in previously less developed areas are experiencing increases in traffic demand. Presenters will discuss improved methodologies to model two-lane highways. They will identify microsimulation tools and explore possible changes to the HCM.
Some registrants will need to pay $95 to attend this webinar. Sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information.
