The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) has had a delay-based level of service methodology for signalized intersections since 1985. The 2010 HCM has revised the method for calculating delay. This happened concurrent with such jurisdictions as NYC reviewing the use of the HCM method in their environmental impact regulations (e.g. CEQR process), and concurrent with a dialog in the profession on when it is appropriate to use simulation models in lieu of HCM methods. This effort focused on providing guidance on how to use the 2010 HCM signalized intersection method in the context of the NYC urban environment.
