Abstract
This chapter discusses the operational evaluation of a highway system considering both freeways and arterials. Previous chapters have considered each of those facilities as an isolated system. However, when congestion occurs and queues spill back into a facility, the analysis should consider the entire freeway-arterial system (the concept is similar to the analysis of freeway systems discussed in Chap. 9, when queues spread to upstream segments). The first section of this chapter discusses spillback from an arterial to a freeway, and the second section examines the impact of spillback from a freeway to an arterial. The last section discusses the performance measurement framework used in the HCM7 to assess highway networks.
