MIDCAP Maryland Intersection and Interchange Design & Capacity Analysis Program

INTRODUCTION Maryland Intersection and Interchange Design & Capacity Analysis Program (MIDCAP) Developed by University of Maryland, College Park and MDSHA A tool to conduct a capacity/ queuing analysis for signalized intersections and interchanges, signal warrant and shoulder bypass analysis at the preliminary, planning, or design stage Ok Ok Copyright ©2004-2014 ATTAP. All rights reserved.

MODULES Capacity and queue analysis Signal Warrant for signalized Intersections for signalized interchanges Signal Warrant Shoulder Bypass Lanes (SBLs) Warrant Copyright ©2004-2014 ATTAP. All rights reserved.

MODULE 1: CAPACITY AND QUEUE ANALYSIS Uses the CLV method and MDSHA’s Queuing analysis procedure Provides the volume-to-capacity ratio and corresponding level of service associated with a particular intersection/interchange design, given hourly turning movement volumes, lane configurations, right turn restrictions, and phase control (split or non-split) Considers different types of intersection/interchange from conventional design (4 leg, 3 leg, diamond intersection) to unconventional design (Continuous Flow Intersection, Single Point Urban Interchange, and Diverging Diamond Interchange) Copyright ©2004-2014 ATTAP. All rights reserved.

MODULE 1: CAPACITY AND QUEUE ANALYSIS Framework Movement volumes Lane configuration Intersection type Right-turn restriction INPUT Determine critical movement and calculate intersection CLV Calculate CLV for each approach Calculate v/c and determine LOS Calculate Max. queue length Intersection Critical Lane Volume Intersection v/c and LOS Maximum Queue Length OUTPUT Copyright ©2004-2014 ATTAP. All rights reserved.
