|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trip generation | show 🗑
|
||||
| Origin-Destination Survey | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Estimates of trip generation rates based on land use type, purpose, or socioeconomic characteristics. When local surveys are unavailable due to time or monetary constraints, published rates are used to derive estimates.
🗑
|

| Office Space | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | 9.6 vehilce trips per unit
🗑

| Shopping center | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | 7 daily trips per 1,000 square feet
🗑
|
||||
| Trip Distribution | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Tool that attempts to quantify the rather complex trip generation relationships. It provides trip estimates based directly on the proportional attractiveness of the zone and inversely proportional to the trip length.
🗑

| Modal Split | show 🗑
|
||||
| AADT (Average Annual Daily Traffic) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Peak hour volume | show 🗑

||||
| Seasonal hour volume | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The capacity of the roadway to handle traffic
🗑
|
||||
| show | Network models to predict the distribution of traffic for each roadway by the hour. Peak volumes can then be compared with DHV to see which, if any, roadways are going to experience traffic over their design capacity.
🗑
|
||||
| show | is a measure of vehicular mobility obtained from travel inventories.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Ten foot travel lanes, eight foot parking lanes, and a curb and planting strip. However, the resulting ROW of 56 feet is much wider than most local streets.
🗑
|
||||
| show | 500 foot maximum tangents, stop signs or speed bumps to slow things down, 150 feet between intersections & clear site distances of 75 feet.
🗑
|
||||
| Local Streets | show 🗑
|
||||
| Collectors | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | interconnect the principal arterials, provide less mobility, smaller geographic areas than principal arterials.
🗑
|
||||
| Principal Arterials | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | provides concepts, guidelines, and procedures for computing highway capacity and quality of service based on road type, published by the Transportation Research Board.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The ability of a road or street to accommodate traffic flow. Ranges from A to F. A LOS of A means there is free flowing traffic and F means heavy traffic congestion with severely reduced traffic speeds.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Created a 40,000-mile "National System of Interstate Highways," but without national importance and no increase in federal funding. Construction of this system began in August 1947, but without increased federal support, many states balked at the idea.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Authorized $25 billion to be spent between 1957 and 1969.
🗑

||||
| show | Federal mandate for urban transportation planning. The Act required urban planning for transportation projects impacting populations of +50,000.
🗑

||||
| Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 | show 🗑
|
||||
| Also known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act | show 🗑
|
||||
| The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Authorized the Federal surface transportation programs for highways, highway safety, and transit for the 6-year period 1998-2003.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Passed 2005 - Authorized $286.4 billion in surface transportation spending.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs)
🗑
|
||||
| Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Residential and commercial areas designed to maximize access by different modes of transportation, including automobiles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians. These developments are specifically designed to encourage the use of public transportation.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Involves changes in street alignment, installation of barriers, and other physical measures to reduce traffic speeds and/or cut-through volumes, in the interest of street safety, livability, and other public purposes.
