The effect of side friction activities on delays due to the reduced free-flow speed was investigated by conducting a series traffic surveys and referring 1997 Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (IHCM) parameters. movement pedestrians, parking/stopping vehicles, vehicles entering exiting road, slow-and-stop motion road sections observed in video footage analyzed estimate occurring. A weighting f...

With the rapid development of the national economy of China, an increasing need for transportation facilities is becoming a serious challenge that the existing traffic system has to meet. Thus, the highway transportation capacity development level assessment has important significance in theory and in practice. In order to overcome the current defects of stronger subjectivity and experience in ...

We examine the link between highways and urban development by employing both hedonic analysis and multiple sales techniques to study the impact of the construction of toll roads in Orange County, California, on house prices. Urban economic theory predicts that if highways improve accessibility, that accessibility premium will be reflected in higher land prices. Our empirical analyses of house s...

Improvements to transportation networks, especially those in growing areas, tend to have impacts on local land markets. In principle, an improvement to a link in the network will confer economic benefits to adjacent and nearby properties. Depending on the type of improvement (construction of a new link, capacity addition to an existing link, or upgrading an existing link), the benefit could rep...

The liability of state highway departments and of highway personnel for defective highway design, construction, and maintenance is a difficult area of the law to state in hard and fast rules. It is not that the basic concepts are difficult to understand, rather it is that they are difficult to apply to given factual situations. It is my intention today to highlight a few of the major principles...

We use a computer-based cellular automaton to study two-component flow, mimicking (fast) passenger and (slow) cargo vehicles, on a circular unidirectional two-lane highway without on-ramps and exits. The global flow rates for different overall densities and mixing ratios between fast and slow cars are determined. We study two main scenarios: two-component traffic without passing restriction (un...

The number of motorcycles in Surakarta has been increasing dramatically since several years ago. This condition was engendering phenomena such as bottleneck and congestion including around an intersection. research aims to determine the repercussions from viewpoint traffic flow, timing signal, driver's behavior. flow analyzed based on Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual, analysis determined usin...

In this study, we apply an integrated land use and transportation model, the Sacramento MEPLAN model, to evaluate transit investment alternatives combined with supportive land use policies and pricing polices in the Sacramento region. Highway investment alternatives are simulated as well for purposes of comparison. The application of the Sacramento MEPLAN model is relatively advanced because th...

There are over 60,000 miles (100,000 km) of coastal highways in the United States (US) that occasionally exposed to waves and water levels. Wise stewardship calls for integration engineering principles practices planning design these roads bridges make them more resilient. A new, 3rd, edition primary guidance document Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 25 (HEC-25), entitled “Highways Coastal En...
