3. Introduction
Widely used - US-HCM (1950)
Base conditions and capacity depend on local conditions
Why Indo-HCM?
• Heterogeneous traffic – diverse vehicles & road users
• Different classification of roadways
• Absence of lane markings & lane discipline - complex maneuver
• Rapid vehicular growth - delay, congestion, long queues
Manual should co-exist with prevailing conditions of the country

• Vehicle operating speed (Vos) = 85th percentile of Free Flow Speed
(FFS)
• Free Flow Speed (FFS)
o Minimum random sample of 100 vehicles
o Standard car with headway ≥ 8 sec

• To account dynamic nature of PCU
• PCU values vary with traffic volume or composition
• Traffic stream is composed of vehicles larger than standard cars Se
will be higher

15. Step 4: Capacity determination
• Indo-HCM defines two types of capacity
CV852 TP09 | | Capacity & LOS: Indo-HCM 15
16-Dec-20
Base Capacity
Maximum number of vehicles that can pass a given point on a lane on a
roadway during one hour, under the most nearly ideal roadway and traffic
conditions, which can be possibly attained.
Adjusted Capacity
• Maximum number of vehicles that can pass a given point on a lane on a
roadway during one hour, under the prevailing roadway and traffic conditions.
• Obtained by adjusting base capacity for roadway & traffic conditions present
at site.
16. • Linear relationship between
operating speed of standard car
and capacity

17. Step 5: Adjustment of base capacity
CV852 TP09 | | Capacity & LOS: Indo-HCM 17
Adjustment factor Description
Carriageway width (fw) • 1 for base condition (Two lane-7m, intermediate lane 5.5, single-lane 3.75m)
• Increases with increase in carriage way width
Paved shoulder (fps) • 1 for paved shoulder width = 0 m
• Increases with increase in shoulder width
Directional spilt (fds) • 1 for 50:50
• Decreases towards 100:0 (0.836)
Road geometry •1 for straight and level terrain
•Vos(km/h) = 70.6 – 1.84*Gradient – 0.026*Curvature (Eqn-7)
•Capacity = 23.6*Operating speed + 167 (Eqn-8)
Riding quality • Used to account surface condition
• For two lane road, VOS = 104 – 6.8*IRI (Eqn-9)
• For intermediate lane road, VOS = 91 – 6.7*IRI (Eqn-10)
• Capacity: Two-lane road = 5082 – 275*IRI (paved shoulder) (Eqn-11)
= 3677 – 203*IRI (without paved shoulder) (Eqn-12)
Intermediate lane road = 2956 – 199*IRI (Eqn-13)
Single lane road = 945 – 25*IRI (Eqn-14)

18. Step 6: LOS Determination
• Qualitative measure of
performance of highway
• Helps in design and upgradation
of roadway facility
• Planning of upgrading a facility
should be started when lower
limit of LOS B is reached
• LOS:
o Two lane
o Intermediate lane
o Single lane v/c ratio
where,
Q = two-way traffic volume (PCU/h)
NF = Number of followers (PCU/h)
NFPC = No. of Followers as

• Estimation of Number of Followers (NF)
o NF = 1.1742*Q0.9306 = 1.1742*(785)0.9306 = 580 PCU/h
• Estimation of Number of Followers as Percentage of Capacity (NFPC)
o NFPC = 580/2944 = 0.197

34. Step 2: Estimation of saturation flow
• Unit base saturation flow Saturation flow per unit width of approach
USF0 = unit base saturation flow rate (PCU/h/m)
w = effective width of approach (m)
• Prevailing saturation flow rate (SF) in PCU/hr
SF = w x USF0 x fbb x fbr x fis
CV852 TP09 | | Capacity & LOS: Indo-HCM 34
630 ; w < 7.0m
USF0 = 1140 – 60w ; 7.0 ≤ w ≤ 10.5m
500 ; w ≥ 10.5
(Eqn-17)

(Eqn-18)
35. fbb = adjustment factor for bus blockage =
tb = average blockage time during green (sec) = 18 sec
nB = no. of buses stopping in an hour ≤ 200
fbr = adjustment factor for blockage of through vehicles by standing right turning vehicles
waiting for the phase (not applicable if exclusive right turn lanes are present)
= (w – wr)/w
wr = width of approach occupied by standing vehicles waiting for right turn phase = 2.5m
(default value)
fis = adjustment factor for initial surge = 1 (if no surge flow is observed)
o Initial surge

36. Step 3: Estimation capacity and v/c ratio
• Capacity of movement group ‘i' in PCU/h
Ci = SFi (gi/CT)
SFi = prevailing saturation flow rate for movement group ‘i' (PCU/h)
gi = effective green time for movement group ‘i' (sec)
CT = overall cycle time (sec)- Webster’s Method
• Calculate degree of saturation
Xi = vi/Ci
• Critical v/c ratio of intersection
= summation of flow ratios for all critical movement group ‘i‘
L = total lost time per cycle

37. Step 4: Estimation of delay
• Control delay (d)
o Average delay due to traffic signal
o Includes stopped delay and lost time
o Control delay in India is similar to control delay model in US-HCM
d1 = uniform delay
d2 = incremental delay
d3 = delay which accounts for presence of initial queue before start of analysis period
CV852 TP09 | | Capacity & LOS: Indo-HCM 37
16-Dec-20
d = 0.9*d1 + d2 + d3 (Eqn-24)
38. • Average control delay for approach-A
di = average control delay for movement group ‘i' (sec/PCU)
Vi = volume of movement group ‘i'
• Intersection delay: Weighted average of delay for each approach
VA = volume of approach ‘A’
