Because there is a need for increased transportation capacity in the face of growing resistance to new highway construction, these papers present timely and useful information on better use of existing transportation facilities. The papers in this Special Report are divided into 8 parts. Those in part 1 are concerned with the management approach; those in part 2 reflect current interest in capacity and service level aspects of urban freeways and signalized intersections; the paper in part 3 describes a traffic simulation tool that has been developed to predict bus service and general traffic performance if special bus priorities are implemented; those in part 4 discuss signalized intersection performance; those in part 5 discuss facility improvement and maintenance; those in part 6 discuss better management of traffic incidents; those in part 7 discuss peak demand reduction; and those in part 8 discuss highway safety programs.
