Predicted Traffic Usage Of A Major Highway Facility Versus Actual Usage By Matthew J Huber And Harvey B Boutwell PDF Download

Methods in use to forecast and assign traffic in planning of major highway facilities are reviewed. Traffic assignments were computed based on both travel time and distance parameters using various diversion curves. Network traffic assignment methods were reviewed with regard to highway capacity restraint functions. These results were compared with the actual travel data. an analysis is presented of errors related to origin-destination input with regard to individual links of the network. Further analysis was conducted to relate link assignments to changes in the origin-destination patterns and to network changes.
