Paper Summary

The goal of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of new HOV lanes in Dallas and compare buffer-separated lanes with barrier-separated lanes. The researchers looked at factors like carpooling, travel time savings, violation rates, and cost effectiveness. They found that buffer-separated lanes were effective in improving public transportation and mobility in the Dallas area.
