Highway Capacity Manual - Overview • The HCM is published by the Transportation Research Board. • HCM contains concepts, guidelines, and procedures for computing the capacity and quality of service for transportation facilities. • There have been five editions from to • HCM was released in December ;. The concept of level of service is defined as a qualitative measure of the operating conditions in a traffic stream and the perception of these conditions by drivers and passengers. The following factors are considered in evaluating the level of service: (i) Operating speed and travel time/journey time. Traffic Level of Service Calculation Methods Level of service (LOS) is a term used to qualitatively describe the operating conditions of a roadway based on factors such as speed, travel time, maneuverability, delay, and safety. The level of service of a facility is designated with a letter, A to F, with A representing the best.
Now available to order from the TRB Bookstore, the Highway Capacity Manual, Sixth Edition: A Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (HCM) provides methods for quantifying highway capacity. In its current form, it serves as a fundamental reference on concepts, performance measures, and analysis techniques for evaluating the multimodal operation of streets, highways, freeways, and off-street. Highway Capacity Manual Signalized intersection level of service (LOS) is defined in terms of a weighted average control delay for the entire intersection. Control delay quantifies the increase in travel time that a vehicle experiences due to the traffic signal control as well as provides a surrogate measure for driver discomfort and fuel. The level of service (LOS) concept in the Highway Capacity Manual has been used as a qualitative measure representing freeway operational conditions for over years.. One key element that has not been adequately addressed is how road users perceive LOS.
