THE STATE-OF-THE-PRACTICE IN FORECASTING TURNING FLOWS. INTERIM REPORT

The purpose of this project was to develop a better understanding of the process of forecasting turning flows. Review of the literature provided information about the state of the research in the area of turning flow forecasts and provided information about the models available for use in making turning flow forecasts. A telephone survey was performed to obtain information about the state of the practice in forecasting turning flows in the United States. Turning flow proportions were analyzed to show a correlation between turning flow proportion and functional classification, and in doing so, average turning flow proportions were developed.
