Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report evaluates the operation of freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in Texas through calendar year 1994. As of the end of 1994, HOV lanes were in operation on the five following Houston freeways: 1) Katy Freeway (I-10W); 2) North Freeway (I 45N); 3) Northwest Freeway (U.S. 290); 4) Gulf Freeway (I-45S); and 5) Southwest Freeway (U.S. 59S). The only HOV facility in operation in Dallas as of the end of 1994 was on the East R.L. Thornton Freeway (I-30E). This research report provides an analysis of data related to the 1) operation of the HOV lanes; 2) operation of the freeway mainlanes; 3) combined HOV lane and freeway data; and 4) data relating to transit usage and operations. Both a "before" and "after" trendline analysis (where applicable) and a comparison to control freeways are used as a means of assessing the impacts of the HOV facilities. As of December 1994, 102.4 kilometers (63.6 miles) of barrier-separated HOV facilities were in operation in Houston, while 8.4 kilometers (5.2 miles) were in operation in Dallas. Approximately 76,000 daily person trips are served on the Houston HOV lane system. Sixty-four percent of total person trips on the Houston HOV lanes are being served by carpools and vanpools, with the remaining 36 percent being served by buses. The East R.L. Thornton HOV lane in Dallas serves approximately 13,000 daily person trips. Sixty-five percent of these trips are being served by carpools and vanpools, with the remaining 35 percent being served by buses

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to investigate the operational effectiveness of the Dallas area HOV lanes. Issues such as person movement, carpool formation, travel time savings, violation rates, safety, and project cost effectiveness are addressed. By understanding the operational performance and issues of both buffer-separated (concurrent flow) HOV lanes and barrier-separated (movable barrier contraflow or fixed barrier reversible flow) HOV lanes, recommendations can be made on suggested HOV lane implementation guidelines for the Dallas area.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 722: Assessing Highway Tolling and Pricing Options and Impacts provides state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other transportation agencies with a decision-making framework and analytical tools that describe likely impacts on revenue generation and system performance resulting from instituting or modifying user-based fees or tolling on segments of their highway system. Volume 2: Travel Demand Forecasting Tools provides an in-depth examination of the various analytical tools for direct or adapted use that are available to help develop the forecasts of potential revenue, transportation demand, and congestion and system performance based on tolling or pricing changes. Volume 1: Decision-Making Framework includes information on a decision-making framework that may be applied to a variety of scenarios in order to understand the potential impacts of tolling and pricing on the performance of the transportation system, and on the potential to generate revenue to pay for system improvements"--Publication information.

Book excerpt: Limited capital investment for major transportation improvements and growth in metropolitan areas require the most efficient use of the existing transportation system. One means to achieve this is high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. While an extensive system of permanent HOV lanes is planned for the Dallas-Fort Worth urbanized area, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) have pursued and continue to pursue short-term or interim HOV lane projects that would enhance public transportation and overall mobility. There are currently 57 km (35.4 mi) of interim HOV lanes operationalin the Dallas area, including a barrier separated contraflow lane on I-30 (East R.L. Thornton Freeway) and buffer-separated concurrent flow HOV lanes on I-35E North (Stemmons Freeway) and I-635 (Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway). The objective of this research is to investigate the operational effectiveness of the new concurrent flow HOV lanes in the Dallas area, as well as to assess the effectiveness of concurrent flow (buffer-separated) versus contraflow (barrier-separated) HOV lanes. Issues such as person movement, carpool formation, travel time savings, violation rates, and project cost effectiveness are addressed. By understanding the operational performance and issues of both concurrent flow (buffer-separated) HOV lanes and contraflow (barrier-separated) HOV lanes, recommendations can be made on suggested HOV lane policies, including the type of permanent HOV lanes to be implemented in the Dallas area.
