Evaluation of Capacity Impact of CAVs
HCS 2022 can assess the impact of CAVs on freeways and roundabouts. This enables analysts to measure the CAV’s impact for long-range planning level analysis. The only input will be the estimated percent CAVs penetration rate in the future years. This capability is backed by the new HCM methods for assessing CAV’s impact. New Service Volume Tables are also included in HCS 2022 to offer robust assistance to the evaluation of CAVs for future scenarios.
