摘要: |
High-occupancy/toll (HOT) lanes offer drivers the option of traveling on a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane for a toll when they would normally not meet the occupancy requirements of the lane. These characteristics have led to the growing perception that HOT lanes offer both substantial revenue opportunities and a solution to a common concern about underused HOV lanes. The complexities and costs associated with adapting HOV lanes to HOT lanes necessitate detailed evaluations of such projects. Further, the importance/relevance of the numerous factors that must be considered varies from one project to the next. Though a detailed analysis of the factors is essential prior to dedicating financial resources, there is a need for a sketch-planning tool that can evaluate the multiple factors (quantitative and qualitative) involved in implementing an adaptation project. |
