Multimodal Transportation Operations: Evaluation Methods & Performance Measures
Keng Her
This new online training course provides the fundamentals required to understand, perform, and interpret the results from multimodal operational analysis and performance evaluations. Several of the most commonly used evaluation and analysis methods are presented with real-world examples. The course focuses on how to develop an appropriate set of performance measures to reliably compute the gains in performance to the transportation system (and/or subsystems) attributable to a project, policy, or program of interest. It also covers the data sources and data reliability, analytic (evaluation) methods and their strengths and limitations, and the overall reliability of the analytical results. Analytical methods for both uninterrupted flow facilities (including along freeways) and interrupted flow facilities (including along surface streets) based on the HCM 6.1 Edition are included.
