The report provides guidance to highway agency officials on the use of available analysis tools to evaluate the travel impacts of major highway reconstruction projects.^A process for travel impact evaluation is outline.^Guidelines on the selection of appropriate analysis tools are presented.^Specific recommendations are made for three project scenarios (minor capacity reduction, partial closure, total closure).^Five categories of available analysis tools with potential application to the evaluation process are reviewed: network-based highway and transit planning models, quick-response estimation techniques, highway capacity analysis procedures, traffic simulation models, and traffic optimization models.^Corridor traffic management planning efforts in five cities (Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Minneapolis) are also reviewed. |
