Description
Summary:and comparison of the delays thus generated, to the estimates
and effort involved. Estimation of delay using analytical
and for conditions with a queue at the start of the time
by the proposed model. The simulation was conducted for
conditions with variable demand, for variable time periods,
delay model which is proposed as an alternative to the

Highway Capacity Manual's delay model. The methodology
indicate a strong linear relationship between the simulation

Manual's delay model.
Measurement of delay is not always feasible due to the cost
model using linear regression. The results from this study
