This report is a compilation of resource papers presented by State, city, and local transportation engineers at the Conference. The report provides highway decision makers with descriptions of analytical procedures that can be applied to evaluate major highway projects and select appropriate traffic control strategies (lane additions, turning pockets, crossovers, etc.). The report discusses available traffic simulation and optimization models. The NETSIM (Traffic Network Simulation) model is highlighted along with its uses in transportation management and traffic engineering. These uses include quantifying vehicle related stops, delay, operating costs, fuel consumption emissions, and traffic costs. The report is intended for use by highway, traffic, and design engineers concerned with selecting the most appropriate traffic control strategies and highway designs.
