Traffic performance of a road section is expressed in terms of Level of Service (LOS). The
Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) developed by the Transportation Research Board of the
National Academies of Science in the United ...
Freedom of overtaking maneuvers on a two-lane highway indicates the Level of Service of
that particular highway according to the Highway Capacity Manual, 2010. Therefore, an
adequate minimum Passing Sight Distance (PSD) ...
Signalized intersection is one of the vital components of the entire road network. The
operational conditions of intersections considerably affect the performance of the whole road
network system. The performance level ...
With the ever-increasing traffic congestion, it is needed to initiate sustainable traffic
