HCS Hands-On Training (Online)

OVERVIEW  

This course is for engineering and planning professionals with basic knowledge of highway capacity analysis and traffic engineering concepts who want to develop hands-on experience with the HCS.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand the scope of HCM analyses
• Understand analysis inputs and interpret results
• Use the basics of Highway Capacity Software to perform HCM analyses
