摘要: |
This document provides guidance on the use of the ARTVAL (Arterial Evaluation) computational engine. The engine implements the Quick Estimation Method for Urban Streets (QEM-US) described in Highway Capacity Manual (HCM2010) as the core computational module for arterial street analysis, considers planning-level inputs, and provides work-zone evaluation modules developed for the state of North Carolina. The engine was developed as part of NCDOT research project 2013-09 “Delay and User Cost Estimation for Work Zones on Urban Arterials”. ARTVAL is a Microsoft Excel based engine coded in the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) platform. The tool has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to facilitate data entry and navigation throughout. The core of the tool is the QEM-US, which is the computational procedure for urban street facilities in Chapter 30 of the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual. Some modifications and enhancements to the methodology have been made to improve its usability by NCDOT. These changes have been documented in the final project report. |
