Book Preferential Lane Treatments for High occupancy Vehicles

Download or read book Preferential Lane Treatments for High occupancy Vehicles written by Charles A. Fuhs and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1993 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to transportation planners, highway engineers, environmental personnel, highway design engineers, transit planners, highway administrators, and others concerned with the planning, design, and operational features of preferential high- occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on highways. Information is provided on the current and proposed state of the practice in North America. This synthesis describes the state of the art with respect to preferential treatment for HOVs on highways. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides information on long-distance facilities, such as barrier-separated, concurrent-flow (separated and nonseparated), and contraflow facilities, as well as on short-distance facilities, such as queue by-pass lanes. Planning, design, and operational features of each treatment are described. The issues and operating results are described, and specific case studies are included.

Book High occupancy Vehicle Project Case Studies

Download or read book High occupancy Vehicle Project Case Studies written by Katherine F. Turnbull and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the examination of historical trends and current experiences with high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) projects in six selected case study sites. HOV facilities in Houston, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Orange County, California; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Seattle, Washington; and Washington D.C./Northern Virginia are examined. In addition, available information on other HOV projects located on freeways or in separate rights-of--way is reviewed. The report presents one part of a three-year assessment of HOV projects in North America. The report includes an examination of historical information on utilization levels, operating characteristics, and impacts of the HOV projects.

Book The Suitability of High occupancy Vehicle Lanes for Additional US Cities

Download or read book The Suitability of High occupancy Vehicle Lanes for Additional US Cities written by Robert M. Von Allmen and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highway congestion negatively impacts people and cities everyday throughout the US. Transportation planners are continuing to develop new tools and measures in order to mitigate the negative impacts of highway congestion. High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, a form of managed lanes, have been used in US cities since the 1970's as one such tool (TRB 1998). Transportation planning offices at the federal level have developed manuals to help municipalities conduct planning processes to determine if congested highways within their prospective jurisdictions are good candidates for HOV lanes. This thesis involved conducting some of the prescribed planning processes found in these manuals for an area which has yet to conduct any extensive HOV lane planning process, the Greater Cincinnati, OH area. The highway segment chosen to study is I-75 between the interchange at I-74 and the interchange at I-275. In a sketch planning exercise, used to compare different highway candidates for the future implementation of an HOV lane, the I-75 corridor in Cincinnati proved to be the most suitable in light of four planning criteria. In an alternative planning exercise, used to compare multiple alternatives to see which would provide the greatest impact on a specific highway segment, adding a HOV lane to I-75 was found to yield a higher person throughput than the other two alternatives. Additional factors must be considered and are expanded on in the conclusions, but based on these two positive results, it is argued that the implementation of an HOV lane should be more seriously considered by local transportation planners as a way to mitigate traffic congestion on I-75.

Book High Occupancy Vehicle HOV Lane Marketing Manual

Download or read book High Occupancy Vehicle HOV Lane Marketing Manual written by John W. Billheimer and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Marketing Manual is designed to provide marketing and HOV professionals with practical guidelines for improving the public awareness, understanding, acceptance, and use of HOV facilities. The organization of the manual features four main sections. The first section, Introduction, contains highlights from case studies of HOV marketing experience and summarizes a few key principles of successful marketing gleaned from these studies. The next main section, Planning the Campaign, addresses such key topics as market research, campaign strategy, marketing materials, and constituency building. The third main section, Implementing the Campaign, covers media relations, advertising placement, promotion, community relations, and ongoing marketing activities. The last major section, Monitoring and Evaluation, discusses the need to monitor and assess the marketing campaign, public response, and HOV lane performance. Finally, Appendices contain sample marketing materials from a variety of HOV projects, project data, the case studies themselves, and a list of contacts who have had experience marketing HOV lanes in various parts of the country.

Book Non pricing Methods to Optimize High Occupancy Vehicle Lane Usage

Download or read book Non pricing Methods to Optimize High Occupancy Vehicle Lane Usage written by George E. Gray and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the feasibility of broadening the pool of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) users on a no-cost basis for HOV facilities where such inclusion would not lead to capacity problems. Focus is on identifying various potential non-pricing methods for optimizing the use of HOV facilities. A large number of various potential non- pricing user groups are identified, evaluated, and consolidated by using these attributes: air quality, fuel savings, enforcement safety, system efficiency, cost effectiveness, and capacity that is treated as a potential fatal flaw.

Book Traffic Control for High Occupancy Vehicle Facilities in Virginia

Download or read book Traffic Control for High Occupancy Vehicle Facilities in Virginia written by Catherine C. McGhee and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities are an important tool in relieving the congestion that continues to build on many urban roadways. By moving more people in fewer vehicles, the existing infrastructure can be used more efficiently. Operating HOV lanes is not a simple matter however. HOV lanes can be controversial, and the task of making them comprehensible and easy to use is not insignificant. Recognizing the importance of signing and pavement marking strategies on the success of HOV implementation, the Traffic Engineering Division of the Virginia Department of Transportation requested a study of Virginia's HOV facility traffic control strategies. The study includes a literature review of signing and pavement marking for special use lanes, a survey of several states with active HOV programs, and a review of the HOV facilities in Virginia. The literature suggests that the majority of motorist do understand the meaning of the term HOV as well as the use of the diamond symbol that indicates an HOV lane. Motorist confusion occurs when HOV regulations are not consistent across a region, however. Varying the hours of operation or minimum vehicle occupancy increases the signing requirements and places a greater burden on motorists. HOV signs must be clear and state relevant restrictions on use. In addition, other efforts should be undertaken to educate motorists about HOV benefits and requirements for use. Enforcement is critical to the success of HOV programs and should be a coordinated effort between the Department of Transportation and the enforcement agencies.
