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.

This is a summary of the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), and has been prepared for personnel of the Federal Highway Administration to assist in the transition from the 1965 HCM to the 1985 HCM. This summary highlights the major differences between the 1965 HCM and the 1985 HCM. The key features and the principal contents of the 1985 HCM are also highlighted. The 1985 HCM is a major evolutionary step forward in the state-of-the-art of highway and traffic operational and design analysis. It provides a means of evaluating alternative solutions to traffic problems, solutions which still require the expertise and creativity of the professional engineer.

The manager of a freeway system has several objectives: provide a transportation system adequate to serve the needs of the area; operate the system in an effective and safe manner; and provide a system that is cost effective to install, operate, and maintain. The modifications discussed in this survey address all of these objectives. Because the modifications are usually declared temporary measures, their applications should be clearly defined in scope and intention. The types of problems addressed by these modifications include the following: overloading of the right lane; bypassing mainline queues; freeway bottlenecks; merge conflicts; preferential high occupancy vehicle operation; and maintenance and construction sites.

This book contains eleven chapters describing some of the most recent methodological operations research developments in transportation. It is structured around the main transportation modes, and each chapter is written by a group of well-recognized researchers. Because of the major impact of operations research methods in the field of air transportation over the past forty years, it is befitting to open the book with a chapter on airline operations management. This book will prove useful to researchers, students, and practitioners in transportation and will stimulate further research in this rich and fascinating area. Volume 14 examines transport and its relationship with operations and management science 11 chapters cover the most recent research developments in transportation Focuses on main transportation modes-air travel, automobile, public transit, maritime transport, and more
