16. Abstract
The objective of this project
is to develop revised operational analysis procedures for
transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist
users. This document contains both new and revised procedures
for analyzing various types of exclusive and mixed-use pedestrian
facilities. These procedures are recommended to determine
the level of service for pedestrian facilities on the basis
of a summary of available U.S. and international literature,
as described in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
document, "Literature Synthesis for Chapter 13, Pedestrians,
of the Highway Capacity Manual," by these same authors.
These procedures are scheduled for incorporation into a
revised U.S. Highway Capacity Manual in 2000.
In addition to this report, there were two additional reports
produced as part of this effort on Capacity Analysis of
Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities. These reports are subtitled
as:
1) Recommeded Procedures for the "Bicycles"
Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-108)
2) Recommended Procedures for the "Signalized
Intersection" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual
(FHWA-RD-98-106)
