A freeway traffic evaluation model has been developed. The input for the model consists of freeway route characteristics and origin-destination demand patterns. The model processes this information through the use of queueing and non-queueing submodels and results in the calculation of the total passenger time expended for a given traffic demand over a given design freeway. The measure of effectiveness, total passenger time, can be determined from the model for various design alternatives. The annual cost of the design alternatives is determined and combined with the measures of effectiveness to determine the cost effectiveness of each design alternative.
