This first release of HCS 2010 includes updated modules to implement the new Highway Capacity Manual (HCM2010) procedures for Signalized Intersections, Roundabouts, Basic Freeway Segments, Freeway Weaving Segments, Freeway Merge & Diverge Segments, Two-Lane Highways and Multilane Highways.
A completely redesigned screen includes the split screen has been organized to permit the most common data entry on one view without having to scroll, while providing for detailed data options below and completely redesigned dynamic reports that can be docked below or to the right for wide screens. A new graphical tool (Quick Phases) provides for entering NEMA Phasing data with a companion Sequential Phasing graphic to help in this transition. Quick Optimization using TRANSYT-7F will optimize cycle length and splits for Signals (and offsets for Streets later).
Major overhauls to the modules for Roundabouts and Weaving provide for the major rewrites of these methodologies are also included, retaining the traditional HCS look and feel. Quick Animation using CORSIM for HCS (now built in) provides this feature for the Signals, Roundabouts, TWSC, AWSC, Freeways, Weaving and Ramps modules within HCS 2010.
It's a single, affordable program that has all the power of the Microsoft Project
