Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report evaluates the operation of freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in Texas through calendar year 1994. As of the end of 1994, HOV lanes were in operation on the five following Houston freeways: 1) Katy Freeway (I-10W); 2) North Freeway (I 45N); 3) Northwest Freeway (U.S. 290); 4) Gulf Freeway (I-45S); and 5) Southwest Freeway (U.S. 59S). The only HOV facility in operation in Dallas as of the end of 1994 was on the East R.L. Thornton Freeway (I-30E). This research report provides an analysis of data related to the 1) operation of the HOV lanes; 2) operation of the freeway mainlanes; 3) combined HOV lane and freeway data; and 4) data relating to transit usage and operations. Both a "before" and "after" trendline analysis (where applicable) and a comparison to control freeways are used as a means of assessing the impacts of the HOV facilities. As of December 1994, 102.4 kilometers (63.6 miles) of barrier-separated HOV facilities were in operation in Houston, while 8.4 kilometers (5.2 miles) were in operation in Dallas. Approximately 76,000 daily person trips are served on the Houston HOV lane system. Sixty-four percent of total person trips on the Houston HOV lanes are being served by carpools and vanpools, with the remaining 36 percent being served by buses. The East R.L. Thornton HOV lane in Dallas serves approximately 13,000 daily person trips. Sixty-five percent of these trips are being served by carpools and vanpools, with the remaining 35 percent being served by buses

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The third edition Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook provides comprehensive information on travel demand effects of alternative urban transportation policies, operating approaches and systems, and built environment options, by building upon, expanding, and selectively replacing the earlier editions to provide a contemporary assessment of the experience and insights gained from the application and analysis of various system changes and alternatives. The focus is on aiding transportation, transit, and land use planners in their conduct of travel demand and related analyses, and to inform elected officials, administrators, operators, designers, and the general public as well. The Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook consists of the Chapter 1 introductory materials and 15 stand-alone published topic area chapters. Each topic area chapter provides traveler response findings including supportive information and interpretation, and also includes case studies and a bibliography consisting of the references utilized as sources. Please note that Chapters 4, 7, and 8 have been deferred for a future TCRP project effort. The Handbook findings derive primarily from reported results and analyses of real-world transportation system and policy applications and trials. Experimental or quasi-experimental empirical data have been the information source of choice. Other empirical data derivations and simple accounts of outcomes have been employed as necessary. Forecasts and other estimates derived from travel demand model applications and similar techniques have been used, but on a very selective basis; mostly for augmenting the empirical data where gaps exist, and for providing additional insights and context. TCRP Report 95: Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook will be of interest to transit, transportation, and land use planning practitioners; transportation engineers; land developers, employers, and school administrators; researchers and educators; and professionals across a broad spectrum of transportation and planning; metropolitan planning organizations; and local, state, and federal government agencies."--taken from publisher web site.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey of transportation economic policy pays homage to a classic work, Techniques of Transportation Planning, by renowned transportation scholar John R. Meyer. With contributions from leading economists in the field, it includes added emphasis on policy developments and analysis. The book covers the basic analytic methods used in transportation economics and policy analysis; focuses on the automobile, as both the mainstay of American transportation and the source of some of its most serious difficulties; covers key issues of urban public transportation; and analyzes the impact of regulation and deregulation on the U.S. airline, railroad, and trucking industries.

Book excerpt: This report attempts to identify some of the key policy level questions that do (or should) arise from the consideration of HOV lanes and to shed light on some of the answers to these questions. The intent of this report is to provide the reader with a nontechnical introduction into the Texas experience with HOV lanes. This summary report is divided into three sections. The first section is a basic introduction to HOV lanes, including what they are, how they work, and typical reasons for considering HOV lanes. Following the initial section is a detailed discussion that sheds some light on the question: "Is this type of improvement the right thing to do?" That discussion describes the findings of the Texas research on some of the key questions that are typically asked when a community is considering an HOV lane. The final section of the report deals with how to know if an operating HOV lane is meeting expectations. It identifies measurable objectives and constraints that will provide important ongoing evaluation and feedback.

Download or read book Traffic Control for High Occupancy Vehicle Facilities in Virginia written by Catherine C. McGhee and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities are an important tool in relieving the congestion that continues to build on many urban roadways. By moving more people in fewer vehicles, the existing infrastructure can be used more efficiently. Operating HOV lanes is not a simple matter however. HOV lanes can be controversial, and the task of making them comprehensible and easy to use is not insignificant. Recognizing the importance of signing and pavement marking strategies on the success of HOV implementation, the Traffic Engineering Division of the Virginia Department of Transportation requested a study of Virginia's HOV facility traffic control strategies. The study includes a literature review of signing and pavement marking for special use lanes, a survey of several states with active HOV programs, and a review of the HOV facilities in Virginia. The literature suggests that the majority of motorist do understand the meaning of the term HOV as well as the use of the diamond symbol that indicates an HOV lane. Motorist confusion occurs when HOV regulations are not consistent across a region, however. Varying the hours of operation or minimum vehicle occupancy increases the signing requirements and places a greater burden on motorists. HOV signs must be clear and state relevant restrictions on use. In addition, other efforts should be undertaken to educate motorists about HOV benefits and requirements for use. Enforcement is critical to the success of HOV programs and should be a coordinated effort between the Department of Transportation and the enforcement agencies.
