Book Description
Program PCL is an interactive, screen-oriented, menu-driven, PC-based software package for the analysis of the effect of adding passing or climbing lanes to selected locations along two-lane rural highways. The main analysis functions choose the start and end locations of a climbing lane based on the speed differential of a heavily loaded truck; predicts the effects on level of service and average speed of adding a passing or climbing lane; and performs a cost effectiveness analysis based on reduction of delay and reduction in accidents. This programmer's manual provides a general overview of program logic and extensive documentation of the internal workings of some portions of the PCL program, including the utility module and application details.
