The Impacts of Allowing Hybrid Vehicles and Solo Toll-Paying Vehicles in Existing High-Occupancy Vehicle Lanes
This paper introduces a microscopic simulation method to investigate the operational effects of allowing single occupant hybrid vehicles and or toll-paying single occupant vehicles into HOV lanes. The demand methodology is based on disaggregate stated and revealed preference vehicle purchase models, and includes a flexible aggregation method for converting the household level predictions to agg...
متن کاملEvaluating Air Quality Benefits of Freeway High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes in Southern California
In the past decade, a variety of questions have been raised concerning the effectiveness of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. In Southern California, HOV lanes evaluation studies have recently been conducted, justifying the effectiveness of HOV lanes in several ways. However, very little research has been performed in evaluating the air quality benefits of HOV lanes. In this paper, a study is...
متن کاملImpact of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane Incentives for Hybrids in Virginia
This paper examines the impact of Virginia’s policy of exempting hybrid-electric vehicles from minimum occupancy requirements on state HOV lanes. Virginia registration statistics are used to compile hybrid market shares on a county level to compare the impact of HOV lane access to other socioeconomic variables. The HOV incentive is shown to have a significant impact in Northern Virginia, but no...
متن کاملMeasuring and Evaluation on Priority Lanes
Along with economic development, cities are increasingly congested in China. In order to eliminate peak-hour congestion, many cities establish priority lanes, commonly bus lanes. Although priority lanes could help Local Authorities gain its short-term management objectives, at the same time, it would greatly infringe on the legitimate rights of other vehicles and waste the scarce road resources...
متن کاملEffectiveness of California’s High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) System
California’s HOV system comprises 1,171 lane-miles, with 803 miles in the South and 366 in the North. This study analyzes peak period traffic data from hundreds of loop detectors over many months in order to evaluate the system’s effectiveness. The study finds: (1) HOV lanes are underutilized: 81% of HOV detectors measure flows below 1,400 vehicles per hour (vph); (2) Many HOV lanes suffer degr...
