Proposed Equations for HCM-6 Passenger Car Equivalent Values
Journal of Transportation Engineering, Part A: Systems, 2022AbstractIn the current version of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM-6), the equal capacity passenger car equivalency (EC-PCE) method is used to account for the effect of trucks for capacity analyses...

Passenger Car Equivalents for Highway Cost Allocation
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1997Existing passenger car equivalent (PCE) values do not necessarily serve the purposes of highway cost allocation well, since their derivation has followed from a need to determine equivalency for traffic operations purposes. Highway cost allocation demands better knowledge of equivalencies among vehicle classes, for a wide range of vehicle types, and ...

Passenger Car Equivalency Factors Under Platooning Conditions
Transportation in Developing Economies, 2019Heterogeneous traffic existing in developing countries such as in India is characterized by vehicles with very diverse static and dynamic characteristics. The various types of vehicles, other than cars in the heterogeneous traffic stream can be converted into equivalent passenger cars so as to express the heterogeneous traffic volume in terms of ...

Study on Passenger Car Equivalents Based on the Emissions
ICLEM 2010, 2010The article proposes that traffic-induced emissions pose a serious threat to air quality in many metropolises. The paper stresses that the urban transport planning must be conducted under the constraint of environment. As the traffic flow on the urban roads usually is the mixed traffic flow, there is a need to analyze the mixed traffic volume to ...

Passenger Car Equivalents and Other Adjustment Factors
2014It has been said that most of the methodologies of the Highway Capacity Manual involve a series of adjustments to what are relatively simple basic numbers.

Passenger car equivalents for vehicles on Singapore expressways
Transportation Research Part A: General, 1990Abstract It is a common practice to use Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) as a standard measure in highway design and analysis. PCE values recommended in the US Highway Capacity Manual and those used in Britain have been adopted by many Asian countries.

Measuring the Passenger Car Equivalent of Small Cars and SUVs on Rainy and Sunny Days
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2018Traffic volume is a fundamental measurement in traffic analyses. In mixed traffic, vehicles vary in size, length, headway, spacing, and acceleration/deceleration. Therefore, if we can categorize the vehicles in mixed traffic in greater detail, the estimated passenger car equivalent (PCE) number will be more accurate.

Estimated passenger car equivalent using backward wave speed
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Transport, 2016In previous studies, little attention has been paid to developing methods for estimating passenger car equivalent (PCE) factors under oversaturated conditions. This paper presents a new method to estimate PCE factors for heavy vehicles based on the assumption that backward wave velocities keep consistent under oversaturated conditions.

Delay-based passenger car equivalents for trucks at signalized intersections
Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2000Abstract This paper presents a new methodology for computing passenger car equivalents at signalized intersections that is based on the delay concept. Unlike the commonly used headway-based methods that consider only the excess headway consumed by trucks, the delay-based approach fully considers the additional delay heavy vehicles cause on traffic ...

Field-Derived Freeway Passenger Car Equivalents for Congested Conditions
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2015Heavy-vehicle (HV) impact on freeway operations in the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 is evaluated on the basis of values for passenger car equivalents (PCE) for buses–trucks and recreational vehicles. These values were calibrated for relatively uncongested freeway conditions [Levels of Service (LOS) A through C] because inadequate field data on HV ...
