Summary The “Taiwan Highway Capacity Manual” was published by the IOT in 1991、2001 and 2011. In addition, IOT further developed the “Taiwan Highway Capacity Analysis Software 2013 (THCS),” which is based on the “2011 Taiwan Highway Capacity Manual.” Analysts can not only perform accurate numerical computations using a computer, they can also 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 being widely used in numerous highway capacity and service standard assessments, specifically, urban renewal planning, traffic impact assessment, and newly built roads.

  To further improve the convenience, user-friendliness, compatibility, and applicability of THCS, as well as promote the initial results of recent highway capacity research, the proposed plan not only updates and maintains the functionalities of the THCS, but also provides educational training and software warrantee and services, ensuring the normal operations of the software. In addition, this plan further endeavors to complete the traffic characteristics survey for the sloped segment of the highway and the software for analysis of tunnel. The results can then be provided for further research in tunnel capacity analysis.
