A review of all literature relevant to the passenger car equivalencies of trucks is reported in the form of an annotated bibliography. Unique new methods are described for developing the general passenger car equivalents of trucks on multi-lane rural highways and urban freeways and on rural two-lane highways. These differ from other methods reported to date by both providing equivalencies of trucks as they act and interact as components in the traffic stream and providing these equivalencies over lengths of highways involving several gradients of different percentages and lengths. An unique new method is also described for developing passenger car equivalents at signalized intersections on two or four-lane arterial streets. This method differs from any reported to date by requiring only the data provided in general street inventories. In addition to these methodologies, the report contains matrices of the passenger car equivalents of trucks covering several diverse rural and urban situations.
