Title:
HIGH-OCCUPANCY VEHICLE, HIGH-OCCUPANCY TOLL, AND MANAGED
LANES (AHB35)
This committee is concerned with the evolving role of
high-occupancy vehicle, high-occupancy toll, and managed
lanes in response to the challenges of congestion, energy
consumption, and climate change. The committee examines
methods for enhancing person throughput, energy
conservation, air quality, and user choices and safety
through the optimization of preferential lanes, priority
treatments, and other supporting systems for bus transit,
carpooling, and vanpooling. The committee’s activities
focus on the planning, design, operation, pricing, and
evaluation of preferential lane facilities and on the
development, validation, and dissemination of theoretical,
experimental, and applied research related to preferential
lanes.
