The main research objective of the study is to improve the limitations of arterial traffic simulation models TRAF-NETSIM and TRANSYT-7F so that they can be used to overcome the above HOV lane planning deficiencies. For instance, after integrating the improved traffic operation models, the evaluation methods can be more adequate for consideration of complex variables associated with arterial HOV lanes. The traffic impacts of HOV lanes can be analyzed from these improved traffic models; therefore, the relationship between traffic impacts and mode shift behavior can be modeled more accurately. Finally, the guidelines to install a successful HOV lane can be derived according to the results of HOV lane evaluation. The scope of the study is limited to focus on the planning process of arterial concurrent flow HOV lanes using traffic simulation models TRAF-NETSIM and TRANSYT-7F.
