Abstract: This study aims to measure the effectiveness of guidelines between US Highway Capacity Manual 2010 and Malaysian Highway Capacity Manual 2011 to evaluate the performance of multilane highway. The study was conducted based on field work by using Trax Appolyon Traffic Counter from 6 October 2016 to 10 October 2016 and the data were collected on four lanes – dual carriageways at Persiaran Mokhtar Dahari (B49) Puncak Perdana, Shah Alam. The field data were collected by considering one-way direction flow toward to Kuala Lumpur. The evaluation of performance measure for the multilane is based on the density obtained from both manual and compared with the empirical data. To measures the accuracy and effectiveness between US HCM 2010 and HCM 2011 Malaysia, the error distribution analysis on the traffic density values are evaluated by using Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The results show that MHCM 2011 more accurate to measure the density and evaluate the performance of the road compared to US HCM 2010.
