This five-day course is completely redeveloped and updated to reflect the changes found in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM2010). Instruction and in-class practice in capacity analysis techniques is provided through lecture and problem-solving sessions. Students have the opportunity to utilize Highway Traffic Software 2010 (HCS2010) in the classroom to apply several of the changed methodologies from the previous version of the Manual last updated in 2000.

The Highway Capacity Workshop is designed for experienced engineers and technicians who apply the principles of capacity analysis to problems of planning and design of proposed facilities and to operation and control of existing street and highway systems. The participants may be traffic, design, highway planning or urban planning engineers or technicians.

Participants receive their own copy of the HCM2010 and a companion reference manual developed by NUCPS that includes a coordinated series of work problems to be used in the course. Computers pre-loaded with HCS2010 will be available in the classroom for use by students.
