A New Concept of Level of Service for Freeway Weaving, Merge and Diverge Segments, and Its Applications
A New Concept of Level of Service for Freeway Weaving, Merge and Diverge Segments, and Its Applications
In most of the existing highway capacity manuals, the traffic quality of critical areas (weaving, merge and diverge segments) at intersections on freeways is investigated separately. A total assessment of an intersection is therefore not available. This paper presents a new model considering the desired traffic quality of the total intersection. A combined degree of saturation which is defined as a function the degrees of saturation of the critical areas is used for defining the traffic quality. This model is already incorporated in the upcoming German Highway Capacity Manual (HBS2011).
