Summary
Preferred treatment of high occupancy vehicles (HOV's), through strategies such as dedicated lanes, can achieve transportation energy conservation. The research presented in this report provides a method for regional planning agencies to assess such HOV facilities, from a travel demand and energy consumption standpoint. The planning process is described and applied in a case study. Products of the case study included estimates of carpool formation and associated fuel savings, and traffic operations on HOV and other facilities in the corridor. The completed process represents a method to examine HOV's under a variety of policy and operational conditions. The process is within the modeling capabilities of other Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO's) and should be transferable to other cities and corridors. Additional applications of the HOV estimation and evaluation process are recommended.
