| This paper presents a method for applying HOV lanes to the Taiwan freeway system. The purpose is to develop guidelines for designating alternative HOV lanes on existing freeways. Simulation results suggest that introducing HOV facilities would significantly improve traffic delays for short and long term steady states, especially during peak hour traffic flow. To ensure the success of the proposed HOV facilities, special attention should be devoted to public awareness and communication, as well as to related planning, education and enforcement issues. |
