A. OF iq1. <br />a 'fi IBC VISION PLAN 2o18 TRAFFIC STUDY UPDATE - <br />VS <br />ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS <br />Final <br />STARTING DELAY: The delay experienced in initiating the movement of queued traffic from a stop to an <br />average running speed through a signalized intersection. <br />SYNCHRO: A complete software package for modeling, optimizing, managing and simulating traffic systems. <br />Synchro implements the HCM methodologies for intersection analysis and is applied for State Highway <br />System ramp termini intersections. <br />TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT: A mixed -use residential or commercial area designed to maximize access <br />to public transport, and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership. <br />TRIP: The movement of a person or vehicle from one location (origin) to another (destination). For example, <br />from home to store to home are two trips, not one. <br />TRIP -END: one end of a trip at either the origin or destination; i.e. each trip has two trip -ends. A trip -end <br />occurs when a person, object, or message is transferred to or from a vehicle. <br />TRIP GENERATION RATE: The quality of trips produced and/or attracted by a specific land use stated in terms <br />of units such as per dwelling, per acre, and per 1,000 square feet of floor space. <br />TRUCK: A vehicle having dual tires on one or more axles, or having more than two axles. <br />UNBALANCED Flow: Heavier traffic flow in one direction than the other. On a daily basis, most facilities have <br />balanced flow. During the peak hours, flow is seldom balanced in an urban area. <br />VEHICLE MILES OF TRAVEL: A measure of the amount of usage of a section of highway, obtained by <br />multiplying the average daily traffic by length of facility in miles. <br />WEAVING AREA: The area of a freeway where there is cross traffic from either a on or off -ramp or transition <br />to another freeway. Typically weaving segments are formed when merge areas are followed closely by <br />diverge areas (within 2,500 feet) and the two are joined by an auxiliary lane requiring the crossing of two or <br />more traffic streams traveling in the same general direction along a significant length of highway without the <br />aid of traffic control devices. <br />''� ••�•• ........
