The objective of the research was to develop a Missouri Planning Procedure which can accurately indicate flow capacity ratios, delay and level of service. This was to be accomplished by determining appropriate default values for Missouri Highways and Transportation Department intersections and by finding a means to generate reasonable signal timing plans. The default values included those for; Geometric Conditions: Area type (CBD or other), lane width, approach grade, presence of adjacent parking; Traffic Conditions: Peak hour factor, percent heavy vehicles, conflicting pedestrian flow rate, number of buses stopping, parking activity, arrival type, right turns on red. During the course of this study, a means to generate a reasonable signal timing plan was presented by the Transportation Research Board Committee on Highway Capacity and Qualilty of Service (the committeee responsible for the HCM).
