Summary        The “Taiwan Highway Capacity Manual” was published by the IOT in 1990 with revisions in 2001, 2011 and 2022. To improve the convenience of highway capacity analysis, the “Taiwan Highway Capacity Analysis Software (THCS)” was developed in conjunction with the “2011 Taiwan Highway Capacity Manual” since 2021 and was gradually revised or received some THCS sub-software updates according to the revision results of the highway capacity manual. With these tools, analysts can perform accurate numerical computations, understand operations and deliver results in a short period of time. This is beneficial to road planning and design, and facilitates the formulation of road operation strategies. The THCS software is now widely used in numerous highway capacity and service standard assessments such as urban renewal planning, traffic impact assessments and newly built roads (such asadding and improving highway interchanges).
        To improve usability, user-friendliness, and scope of THCS and disseminate recent highway capacity research,this project aims to introduce several enhancements. In addition to incorporating the recent research outcomes into THCS, we added a sub-module for analyzing freeway diverging area for off-ramp, updated the simulation module for rural multilane highways, revised software user manual, maintained the webpage, provided educational training, engaged experts for consultation services, and created posters to domonstrate significant achievements.
