Feasibility assessment of metropolitan high-occupancy toll lane network in Atlanta, Georgia Meyer, Michael D et al
Series: ; 1959Publication details: Transportation research record, 2006Description: s. 159-167Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1959Location: Abstract: High-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes have become an important consideration in metropolitan areas where a limited ability to expand the road network leads officials to examine ways to use existing road capacity more efficiently. A feasibility study of a HOT lane network was done in the Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan area. Although the concept of HOT lanes is not new, how one analyzes a regional HOT network with existing travel demand models has not been reported in the literature. Results are presented of market research and of a systems-level analysis that were used to examine the feasibility of a regional HOT network in Atlanta. How such a feasibility analysis can be undertaken is illustrated, and policy implications are noted.| Current library | Status | |
