Success Factors for Truck-Only Lane Projects
项目名称: Success Factors for Truck-Only Lane Projects
摘要: NCHRP Project 3-73, "Separation of Vehicles - CMV Only Lanes," starting early in 2007 and ending late in 2008, has the following objectives, (1) examine the various performance characteristics of a CMV-only lane application within a highway (e.g., reduced congestion, accident reduction); (2) examine relative items such as cost variables, aspects of reduced and/or increased pavement wear; (3) examine/explore modeling scenarios which have been completed by others; (4) examine/explore the benefits to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies that are being used by various states [e.g., Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) readers, Electronic Traffic Control and Monitoring (ETCM) system]; (5) examine/review the feasibility of increased size and weight standards on CMV only lanes; and (6) prepare a report of pertinent data and findings that includes economic implications, transportation performance, safety benefits, and other impacts associated with the application of CMV-only lanes. The objective of this project is to augment NCHRP Project 3-73 by examining additional factors related to the success of truck-only lane projects. The specific factors to be examined will be negotiated with the panel overseeing NCHRP Project 3-73 but could include the planning process, institutional considerations, return-on-investment analysis, public benefits, equity and environmental impacts, and technology applications to increase capacity. The research should examine the suitability of tolling and privatization.
