[sustran] Re: Vehicle carrying capacity study !

[Jonathan E. D. Richmond]

There is a great deal of data available on this together with Highway
Capacity Manuals, but it is mostly geared to Western situations and is
often used in inappropriate ways in Asian Contexts. In particulat,
nonmotirized vehicles and pedestrians tend to get ignored. I would
certainly be interested to hear if you discover sources of particular
relevance to Asia. Best of luck.
