Abstract This paper describes a method of calculating Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) values between consecutive signalized intersections on urban arterial roads. These values are cummulative over the length of road between intersections and reflect the vehicle-hours of road utilization that are added when large commercial vehicles are introduced into the traffic stream. The technique involves collecting data on the dynamic performance of vehicles and simulating their flow using the enhanced version of the NETSIM traffic simulation model. The resulting PCE values vary from unity, for small cars, to 1.6 for heavy trucks. These results can be used to allocate highway costs to individual vehicle types, according to their vehicle hour usage of urban arterial roads.
