Conclusion

This chapter helps to determine the level of service and capacity for a given road segment. In the first part we studied highways in general there classification and characteristics which gives the overall idea of multilane highways. Then we studied determination of capacity for multilane highway which is again a very important parameter used to determine the level of service, then we studied the concept of level of service and procedure to determine level of service. Also by using its applications, number of lanes required (N), and flow rate achievable (vp), Performance measures related to density (D) and speed (S) can also be determined.
