Passenger Car Equivalencies for Large Trucks at Signalized Intersections

Pages : 72
Book Description
The objective of this report was to develop passenger car equivalents (PCE's) for trucks traveling straight through a level, signalized intersection based on vehicle type and position of vehicle in queue. Data were collected at three different sites and included: length of queue, classification of vehicles, and total travel time for each vehicle measured from start of green to the time the vehicle's rear axle crossed the stop line. An analytical model was developed to estimate PCE values based on total travel time and vehicle type. Using this model, PCE values were developed for 2-axle, single-unit; 3-axle, single-unit; 4-axle combination; and 5-axle combination trucks. An approximate equation was subsequently developed to predict the PCE's for large vehicles based on the number of axles.

Book Description
Provides comprehensive and in-depth coverage of traffic engineering. It reflects all the skills necessary for success; including design, construction, operation, maintenance, and system optimization. Using a clear and logical structure, the book demonstrates both the theory and methodology behind all standard traffic engineering approaches. It also includes examples to illustrate the procedures as they are used in practice. The second edition of "Traffic Engineering" has been revised to include a new chapter on the statistical analysis of data. It also includes the latest practices and procedures; new material on underlying models; a new procedure for initial signal timing; as well as an expanded presentation of signalization and signal analysis.
The Highway Capacity Manual: A Conceptual and Research History

Book Description
Since 1950, the Highway Capacity Manual has been a standard used in the planning, design, analysis, and operation of virtually any highway traffic facility in the United States. It has also been widely used abroad, and has spurred the development of similar manuals in other countries. The twin concepts of capacity and level of service have been developed in the manual, and methodologies have been presented that allow highway traffic facilities to be designed on a common basis, and allow for the analysis of operational quality under various traffic demand scenarios. The manual also addresses related pedestrian, bicycle, and transit issues. This book details the fundamental development of the concepts of capacity and level of service, and of the specific methodologies developed to describe them over a wide range of facility types. The book is comprised of two volumes. Volume 1 (this book) focuses on the development of basic principles, and their application to uninterrupted flow facilities: freeways, multilane highways, and two-lane highways. Weaving, merging, and diverging segments on freeways and multilane highways are also discussed in detail. Volume 2 focuses on interrupted flow facilities: signalized and unsignalized intersections, urban streets and arterials. It is intended to help users of the manual understand how concepts, approaches, and specific methodologies were developed, and to understand the underlying principles that each embodies. It is also intended to act as a basic reference for current and future researchers who will continue to develop new and improved capacity analysis methodologies for many years to come.
