The National Research Council is jointly administered by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The mission of the Transportation Research Board is to provide leadership in transportation innovation and progress through research and information exchange, conducted within a setting that is objective, interdisciplinary, and multimodal. The Transportation Research Board is distributing this Circular to make the information contained herein available for use by individual practitioners in state and local transportation agencies, researchers in academic institutions, and other members of the transportation research community. The information in this circular was taken directly from the submission of the authors. This document is not a report of the National Research Council or the National Academy of Sciences.

Morgan, Senior Program Associate Transportation Research Board 500 Fifth Street, NW Washington, DC 20001 www.TRB.org Lea Camarda, Production Editor; Jennifer Correro, Proofreading and Layout Preface his Transportation Research Circular includes seven full technical papers and three extended T abstracts focusing on innovative applications of the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (HCM 2010). All of these papers were submitted to the Highway Capacity and Quality of Service Committee in response to a special call for papers for the 93rd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 2014. The peer review and selection followed the same TRB paper review guidelines and selection criteria as all other papers submitted for the TRB Annual Meeting. All of these papers were presented in a special session at the Annual Meeting, which was well-received by the conference participants. HCM 2010 involves many significant updates and additions to previous editions of the HCM. The papers in this Circular include case studies, performance measures, data collection, model enhancement, and many other aspects of HCM methodologies. The publication of this Circular is timely and will serve as an important reference for transportation researchers and professionals throughout the world. Thanks go to the authors for participating in the Annual Meeting session. Special thanks also go to the members and friends of the Highway Capacity and Quality of Service Committee, who provided valuable reviews, and to the TRB staff who facilitated the publication of this Circular. The views expressed in the technical papers are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily represent the views of TRB or the National Research Council. The papers have not been subjected to the formal TRB peer-review process. —Lily Elefteriadou, Chair Highway Capacity and Quality of Service Committee iii Contents Empirical Analysis of Critical Headway for Drivers Turning Right on Red at Signalized Intersections .....................................................................................1 Brendan J.

Hummer v Empirical Analysis of Critical Headway for Drivers Turning Right on Red at Signalized Intersections BRENDAN J. RUSSO PETER T. SAVOLAINEN Wayne State University Right turn on red (RTOR) movements can significantly affect the capacity of right-turn lanes at signalized intersections. Vehicles turning right on red must wait for an adequate opening in conflicting vehicle traffic (or pedestrian traffic, if present) in order to complete the turn and, consequently, there exists an RTOR critical headway.
