16. Abstract
The objective of this project is
to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation
facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document
describes the effects of pedestrians and bicyclists on the capacity
of signalized intersections. These procedures augment the existing
Highway Capacity Manual signalized intersection Level
of Service procedures for locations with substantial pedestrian
and/or bicycle traffic conflicting with vehicular turning movements.
This document incorporates the results of a multi-regional data-collection
effort that confirms the validity of a conflict zone occupancy
approach to analyze pedestrian and bicycle effects on signalized
intersection capacity.
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 "Pedestrian" Chapter
of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-107)
2) Recommended Procedures for the "Bicycles" Chapter
of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-108)
