Title: 2003 urban mobility report. Volume 2 : five congestion reduction strategies and their effects on mobility
Abstract: The Urban Mobility Report procedures provide estimates of mobility at the areawide level. The approach that is used describes congestion in consistent ways using generally available data allowing for comparisons across urban areas or groups of urban areas. Past procedures only looked at projects that added lanes or reduced demand and overlooked many other types of projects that affected the demand characteristics. This report extends the procedures to several other treatments. The goal is to include all improvements, but good data are necessary to accomplish this. This report describes a framework for incorporating additional treatments and shows effects of those treatments. The five treatments are ramp metering, traffic signal coordination, incident management programs, high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, and public transportation service.
