| 摘要： | The concept of quality of service from a user perspective of a transportation facility or service is a fundamental concept of the "Highway Capacity Manual" (HCM). In determining quality of service of an arterial, six levels of service thresholds are defined in the HCM based on average through vehicle speed. In fact, the arterial level of service is not so much describing the quality of transportation service provided by the facility, as much as the quality of service provided to through motorized vehicles (i.e., automobile users). Although this quality of service concept does address the primary mode of travel, it does not address the quality of service the arterial provides to other major potential modes: transit, pedestrian and bicycle. Proposed levels of service in the 2000 HCM for pedestrians and bicyclists are essentially based on how crowded the respective modal facilities are. However, recent research on pedestrian and bicycle quality of service indicate that the most important factors are lateral separation of the mode from motorized vehicles, and motorized vehicle volume, speed, and type. For scheduled fixed route bus users the most important factors for quality of service along an arterial are frequency of transit vehicles (headways and hours of service) and pedestrian access. This paper presents methods of determining the level of service to scheduled fixed route bus users, pedestrians and bicyclists on arterials as well to through vehicles. It is based on level of service research for the individual modes, with a more comprehensive arterial approach based on research being conducted in Florida. It also presents Florida's proposed multimodal arterial quality of service approach at a planning level and how future editions of the HCM could be structured to take a more multimodal analysis approach. |
