✦ Synopsis

The Transportation Research Board is pleased to announce the publication of the Fifth Edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM2010). The HCM2010 incorporates more than $5 million of funded research that has occurred since publication of the HCM2000. This latest edition will significantly update how engineers and planners assess the traffic and environmental effects of highway projects:

It is the first HCM to provide an integrated multimodal approach to the analysis and evaluation of urban streets from the points of view of automobile drivers, transit passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians;

It is the first to address the proper application of micro-simulation analysis and the evaluation of those results;

It is the first to discuss active traffic management in relation to both demand and capacity; and

It is the first to provide specific tools and generalized service volume tables, to assist planners in quickly sizing future facilities.
