2010 Highway Capacity Manual Update Workshop
Engineers and transportation planners familiar with the Highway Capacity Manual, used for "evaluating the multimodal performance of highway and street facilities," will find that the fifth edition is a significant revision from the previous edition. The 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM2010) incorporates "the latest research on highway capacity and quality of service" as well as a reorganization which will make it more accessible and understandable.
This one-day workshop will provide an overview of changes in the HCM2010 with an emphasis on new methodologies and differences from the 2000 manual. It is expected that the HCM2010 will be available for purchase from TRB by late 2010. This workshop will provide a sneak peak of the new material and will include the following:
- Overview of the HCM2010
- Volume 1: Highway Capacity Concepts
- Volume 2: Freeway Facilities (FREEVAL), Freeway Segments, Weaving, Merge and Diverge, Multilane Highways, Two-lane Highways
- Volume 3: Signalized Intersections, Multi-modal Urban Streets, Unsignalized Intersections; Roundabouts, Pedestrian and Bike Facilities, Interchange Ramp Terminals
- Volume 4: Supplemental Materials
Each participant will receive 7.0 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) which will be noted on his or her training certificate.
