Highway Capacity Manual Analyses Made Simple: Introducing the HCM Reference Guide

This webinar is led by McTrans Center in partnership with ITE.

Webinar Description:

For decades, the Highway Capacity Manual has been an essential standard for evaluating the capacity and level of service of several road elements. As the methods evolved, so did the complexity of its calculations. The current release (7th Edition) has 38 chapters and 2,500+ pages, which may be intimidating for some professionals who do not work with the manual on a daily basis. The HCM Reference Guide, published in 2022, is a concise document intended to provide essential knowledge for agencies or professionals analyzing or reviewing studies based on the HCM. It supplements, fills gaps, further explains, and provides key insights into some complex procedures that are often misunderstood. This webinar will provide an overview of the HCM Reference Guide and discuss potential applications of this document.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the scope of HCM analysis.
  • Know how to review an HCM analysis based on FHWA’s published “HCM Reference Guide.”
  • Learn common mistakes performed in HCM analyses.
Presenters:
  • Dr. Bob Aghdashi, Director | McTrans Center | University of Florida Transportation Institute | Gainesville, FL, USA
  • Fabio Sasahara, Ph.D PMP, Associate Director | University of Florida Transportation Institute | Gainesville, FL, USA
