TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Intersection, diamond, and three-level diamond grade separation benefit-cost analysis based on delay savings JO - Transportation research record A1 - Rymer, Bruce A1 - Urbanik II, Thomas SP - 23 EP - 29 VL - 1239 IS - N2 - A method for determining when traffic flow should be grade separated would be an invaluable tool for the traffic engineer/planner. The results of this study facilitate choosing proposed grade separation improvements on the basis of an evaluation of the reduced delay benefits to the cost of a grade separation. This methodology can assist decision-makers in determining when grade separations are appropriate. The analysis is centered on the Federal Highway Administration's TRANSYT 7F model. An economic analysis that presents the benefit/cost methodology for ranking a grade separation project is included. Record URL: http://onlinepubs.trb.org/Onlinepubs/trr/1989/1239/1239-004.pdf
