Title: CHARACTERISTICS OF NEW MODELS FOR CAPACITY ANALYSIS OF TWO-WAY STOP-CONTROLLED (TWSC) INTERSECTIONS
Abstract: The Highway Capacity Manual, 1997 update contains new procedures for the analysis of capacity and level of service of unsignalized intersections. These procedures were developed as part of a study of 120 intersections throughout the United States, funded through the National Cooperative Highway Research Program. The purpose of this paper is to present the highlights of the new procedures for two-way stop-controlled intersections, including sample calculations showing the effects of upstream traffic signals, median storage, and flared minor right turn approaches. These new procedures will provide the traffic engineer with the ability to assess the performance of a wide range of conditions typically found at unsignalized intersections.
