Development of Florida Traffic Characteristics for Service Volume Calculations Based on Latest HCM

There are two objectives of this project: The first objective is to evaluate the suitability of existing archival data sources for identifying local values of critical Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) analysis methodology parameters, and develop a process for calculating such parameter values from suitable data sources. The second objective is to explore the options of updating the Department’s Generalized level of service (LOS) Tables, to have them to closer in line with the latest HCM 6, and the optimal methodology of evaluating/reporting new type of facilities such as managed lanes, and to update the contents of the Generalized LOS Tables.
