This user manual provides instructions and guidance on how to use this spreadsheet tool to perform operational performance analysis for a variety of intersection geometry and control scenarios. The CAP-X Tool provides an objective, quantifiable basis for comparing the operational performance of different intersection types that will help users determine a preferred alternative for a given intersection project. This tool may be of use to traffic operations researchers and practitioners, transportation planners and engineers, and highway and street designers. Michael S. Griffith Director, Office of Safety Technologies Federal Highway Administration DISCLAIMER The Capacity Analysis for Planning of Junctions (CAP-X) Tool is intended to assist planners and engineers with planning level operation analysis of junctions. This analysis forms one component of a comprehensive intersection control evaluation (ICE) or alternatives analysis. As such, the results of the CAP-X Tool – overall v/c ratio and multimodal accommodations analysis – should not be the sole basis of choosing a given intersection or interchange form for implementation. The CAP-X Tool is not intended to be an intersection/interchange form selection tool.

  • SIMULATION of DIFFERENT INTERSECTION DESIGN for IMPROVING TRAFFIC FLOW with FACTORS CONSIDERING LOCATION, POPULATION and DRIVER EXPECTANCY Sourabh Kumar Singh Dr
    Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 SIMULATION OF DIFFERENT INTERSECTION DESIGN FOR IMPROVING TRAFFIC FLOW WITH FACTORS CONSIDERING LOCATION, POPULATION AND DRIVER EXPECTANCY Sourabh Kumar Singh Dr. Anil kunte Associate Professor, Research Scholar, Associate Professor, Department of Civil Department of Civil Department of Civil Engineering Engineering, Shri JJT Engineering, Shri JJT Noida International University University University Dr. Paritosh Srivastava Abstract: In today’s economic growth the vehicular traffic is increasing day by day, which leads to failure of intersections before their time period. To increase the efficiency of these failed intersections the engineers added lanes to the existing major and minor roads, but this method do not give results which it used to deliver in the past, hence other methods were adopted. So to increase the efficiency and fulfil the criteria for successful intersection ,to cape with it several intersection are designed which are unconventional in nature like jug handle, bow tie, continuous flow intersection and median u turn which are very effective in increasing green time on highway and minor roads. The software used in this study is Auto- cad for planning and drawing purpose which can be used in sim-traffic software which will be used for simulation purpose of the traffic flow on different designs of intersections. The factors which are considered in this study are -location of town centre, population of the zone and driver expectancy. The final conclusion of this study is that continuous flow intersection provides the best results when the traffic is increased. The construction cost is least in median u turn and giving maximum result than all other intersections.

Abstract Alternative intersections and interchanges, such as the diverging diamond interchange (DDI), the restricted crossing u-turn (RCUT), and the displaced left-turn intersection (DLT), have the potential to both improve safety and reduce delay. However, partially due to lingering questions about analysis methods and service measures for these designs, their rate of implementation remains low.

  • TAC 2003 Jughandle Final
    UNCONVENTIONAL ARTERIAL DESIGN Jughandle Intersection Concept for McKnight Boulevard in Calgary G. FurtadoA, G. TenchaA and, H. DevosB A McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd., Surrey, BC B McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd., Edmonton, AB ABSTRACT: A functional planning study was initiated along McKnight Boulevard by the City of Calgary in response to the growing traffic and peak hour congestion routinely experienced along the corridor. The objective of the study was to identify and define, the most suitable improvements for medium term (2015 horizon) and long-term (2038 horizon) traffic demands, while conforming to a large number of independent constraints. Numerous alternatives were identified, and in due course rejected, due to their inability to adequately address the project requirements or satisfactorily meet stakeholder needs. Ultimately, a conventional intersection design involving widening along the south side of the corridor and the jughandle intersection concept were short listed for further evaluation and comparison. These design alternatives were subjected to a relatively rigorous appraisal that included performance, signing, laning and signalization requirements, property impacts, access and transit requirements, safety considerations, human factors and environmental impacts to name a few. It was found that operationally, the jughandle intersection design has compelling application potential in high volume corridors where local access is required and full grade separation is impractical or too costly. However, the jughandle property acquisition requirements and resulting costs along highly urbanized corridors, combined with their limited implementation experience in North America, can preclude their use in less than optimum circumstances. 1. INTRODUCTION Arterial roadways are typically designed and built with the intention of providing superior traffic service over collector and local roads (1).

  • A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down Public Consultation APRIL 2018
    A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down public consultation APRIL 2018 Response to consultation questions Note: This response should be read in conjunction with the letter attached to this consultation response. This document details our response to the questions raised in the consultation documents provided by Highways England on the proposed scheme as currently designed. We note that while we have now been presented with more information about the design, a substantial amount of detailed design work still needs to be undertaken. We also await the publication of the full Environmental Impact Assessment and associated Heritage Impact Assessment to enable us to properly assess the potential impacts of the proposed scheme and the effectiveness of the measures proposed to mitigate those impacts. All of the comments we provide in this document (and the associated letter) are therefore given in the expectation of the delivery of a considered, high quality solution to the final design and construction of this proposed scheme, appropriate to the protection of this internationally important site. The potential impacts and benefits of the proposed scheme must be tested in accordance with UNESCO/ICOMOS guidance to assess whether it will protect, conserve and enhance the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the World Heritage Site (WHS). To that end, notwithstanding the need for Highways England as the scheme promoters to complete such an assessment as part of their full Heritage Impact Assessment, we, together with Historic England, have carried out our own assessments using this guidance to inform our position. Based on the findings of our latest assessment, we consider that while Highways England have made many improvements to the road design in an attempt to protect the WHS, further mitigation measures are required in order to ensure that the road, particularly in the western part of the WHS, does not cause unacceptable harm to its OUV.

Abstract (Limit: 200 words) The Intersection Decision Support (IDS) system is designed to assist drivers on stop-controlled low-volume rural roads choosing gaps when confronted with busy multiple lane divided-highways, without affecting traffic on the high-volume road. The hope is, that by providing better gap guidance, fewer crashes (and fatalities) will occur. This research develops a framework for analyzing such a new, and presently under-specified technology, and illustrates that framework by comparing that with more conventional engineering approaches, as well as a “do- nothing” base case.
