Highway Capacity Manual Applications Guidebook (Announcement)

This digest announces the results of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 3-64, "Highway Capacity Manual Applications Guide." In this project, a research team composed of key authors of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) led by Mr. Wayne Kittelson of Kittelson & Associates identified areas of confusion faced by HCM users and developed material to address those concerns. The guide (available at http://hcmguide.com/) uses real-world case studies to illustrate how the HCM and other analysis tools can be used. Any user of the HCM will benefit from reviewing one or more of the case studies. This digest summarizes the contents of the guide.
