HCM-CALC implements the uninterrupted-flow analysis methodologies of the Transportation Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual, 5th and 6th editions. Specifically, it covers basic freeway segments, weaving segments, merge segments, diverge segments, multilane highway segments, two lane highway segments, and freeway facilities. The software performs level of service and service volume calculations and includes formatted reports for printing.
