Serving Thousands of Users for Over 3 Decades

For the past three decades, the McTrans Center is well known for the Highway Capacity Software (HCS) tool. It is one of the widely used macroscopic traffic simulation tools that is based on the United States Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Currently, this tool has around 15000 users worldwide. Users are using this tool to make sure that they are using the HCM methods for their analysis. McTrans Center works with the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Highway Capacity and Quality of Service (HCQS) to monitor any updates and changes to the HCM to release a new version of HCS. Users are always assured of using the most recent methodologies in the HCM by using the latest version of HCS.
