Abstract:
Providing sufficient supply considering future demand is one of
transportation management policies these days. Urban multilevel
highways can positively affect congested streets by increasing
network operational speed and decreasing delay time though it is
costly. The current paper aims to present a methodology for
comparing the multilevelization capability of urban corridors
considering transportation and economic parameters. Mashhad
which is one of the main cities of Iran is chosen as the case study.
Primary corridors are identified among the most effective main
streets of the city. As a result, ۶ selected corridors are modeled in a
macroscopic software and analyzed. Benefit assessment is done
based on two factors: network total traveled time (Vehicle. Hour of
travel) and network total traveled distance (Vehicle. Kilometer).
Next, the benefit to cost ratio is calculated for a ۱۰-years period
employing VHT reduction and decrease in fuel consumption and
air pollution as benefits, and construction and maintenance costs as
cost. The results show that the best scenario is multileveling
Ferdowsi street.
