[PARAMETERS] [SIGNAL2000]
The purpose of this command is to enter satflow adjustment factors for each movement of the
current intersection to adjust 2000 Highway Capacity Manual satflow computations.
<Satflow Adjustment Factor> is an adjustment factor which, when multiplied by satflows
obtained from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual, produce satflows that more accurately reflect
conditions known to exist in the study area. It can be any number from 0.01 to 9.99. Its default
value is 1.00, no adjustment.
Notes
•
FACTORS are useful in adjusting 2000 Highway Capacity Manual computations
to match surveyed satflows (i.e., calibration).
•
FACTORS may also be useful in estimation of special-use lane satflows (i.e.,
dual-optional turn lanes - see Chapter 5).
