A revised method for the determination of passenger car equivalencies
Abstract The operating characteristics of trucks and buses differ significantly from those of passenger cars. The former travel more slowly and occupy more space than do the latter. These are the two most prominent reasons for the need to determine the equivalencies of the large-size vehicles in terms of passenger cars, since passenger car equivalencies (PCE) are required for carrying out highway capacity calculations. This paper reviews and discusses the current approaches to such a determination, and then suggests and evaluates a revised method. A direct comparison with current practice is also presented.
