Introduction

Printable Overview, Introduction, and Getting Started

Museum Road is a major internal connector on the University of Florida campus serving a student population of over 46,000 and an employee base of over 11,000. The University of Florida is located in the City of Gainesville, Florida, with a population of nearly 100,000, with an additional 200,000 in Alachua County.

The University of Florida is currently building a major multipurpose parking structure with approximately 400 parking spaces and other utilities adjacent to the Reitz Union student activity center. The main driveway for the parking structure will access Museum Road. The opening of this facility provides 280 additional parking spaces and will generate significant traffic along Museum Road. The fact that Museum Road has four intersections with major pedestrian, bicycle, and bus traffic presents some interesting and unique characteristics that lend themselves to exploring a variety of capacity analysis techniques.
