StrengthsStrengths
HCS 2010 ™ also implements the HCM 2010 roundabout analysis procedureCommonly used and accepted nationwideSimple one-page output report
LimitationsLimitations
Single- and double-lane roundabouts only
Only what’s included in the HCMSingle intersection analysis only
No network modeling, growth factors or scenario analyses
Potential PitfallsPotential Pitfalls
Some lane configurations included in the HCM can’t be modeled in HCS 2010
Exclusive left and a shared left/through/right
Need to be careful when opening, closing and saving files
Double-check the input values and critical and follow-up headway values
