This project addressed certain limitations and gaps related to the two-lane highway analysis chapter in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). More specifically, the objective of this research was to (1) develop performance measures for operational and capacity analyses of two-lane highways and develop models to produce these performance measures in a HCM context, and (2) develop or modify a simulation-based analysis method for two-lane highways.
