McTrans HCS Survey...
McTrans is asking users of simulation models to participate in an online survey... "Recognizing that traffic analysts often use simulation and other models in conjunction with, or instead of, the HCM procedures, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has initiated a project to enhance the guidance in Part V of the HCM for selection and use of alternative traffic analysis tools. This project is being carried out by the University of Florida and T-Concepts Corp.

"One of the key tasks involves a survey of current practice. We invite all users of traffic analysis tools to participate in this survey. Your response will help to guide the research team in the development of guidelines that will be useful to you as a transportation professional.

"The survey document is posted at http://trc.ce.ufl.edu/research/nchrp385/survey.htm. The survey is brief and can be completed in about ten minutes. If you agree that better guidance is needed on the use of alternative tools for traffic analysis, we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to give the project team your thoughts."
