Sub-problem 1c: Special Considerations for the Analysis
Step 1. Setup
The HCM procedures for LOS estimation on two-lane highways and signalized arterials assume that no unusual conditions exist that: 1) could affect the outcome of the analysis beyond the scope of the procedures 2) or that would require some modification of the procedures to achieve valid results. This problem considers some unusual conditions that could impact the analyses.
Consider:
-
What are possible geometric considerations that could impact the analyses?
-
What are possible intersection control scenarios that could impact the results?
-
What about signal timing issues?
