It has also been widely used abroad, and has spurred the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edevelopment of similar manuals in other countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twin concepts of capacity and level of service have been developed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein the manual, and methodologies have been presented that allow highway\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etraffic facilities to be designed on a common basis, and allow for the analysis of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoperational quality under various traffic demand scenarios. The manual also\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eaddresses related pedestrian, bicycle, and transit issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book details the fundamental development of the concepts of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecapacity and level of service, and of the specific methodologies developed to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edescribe them over a wide range of facility types. The book is comprised of two\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003evolumes. Volume 1 (this book) focuses on the development of basic principles, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand their application to uninterrupted flow facilities: freeways, multilane\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehighways, and two-lane highways. Weaving, merging, and diverging segments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon freeways and multilane highways are also discussed in detail. Volume 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efocuses on interrupted flow facilities: signalized and unsignalized intersections, urban streets and arterials. It is intended to help users of the manual understand how concepts, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eapproaches, and specific methodologies were developed, and to understand the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderlying principles that each embodies. It is also intended to act as a basic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereference for current and future researchers who will continue to develop new\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand improved capacity analysis methodologies for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274919600279,"sku":"9783319358222","price":16714.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319358222.webp?v=1769281329","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-highway-capacity-manual-a-conceptual-and-research-history-volume-1-uninterrupted-flow-9783319358222","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
