Details
For decades, the US Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) has been an essential standard for evaluating the capacity and level of service of several road elements in the US and many other countries. As the methods evolved, so did the complexity of its calculations. The current release (7th Edition) has 38 chapters and 2,500+ pages, which may be intimidating for some professionals who do not work with the manual on a daily basis.
In this webinar, we will go over best practices for using HCM methods (based on the HCM Reference Guide) in real-world applications. An overview of common misconceptions and mistakes will be provided with real-world examples.
