Highway Capacity Software (HCS) - Annual Subscription
This product is a one-year subscription to the full license of Highway Capacity Software (HCS). HCS is a macroscopic traffic analysis tool based on the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 7th Ed). The scope of analysis encompasses freeways, highways, arterials, signals, roundabouts, and stopped control intersections.
