AB  - Road drainage is one of the most relevant assets in transport infrastructure due 
      to its inherent influence on traffic management and road safety. Highway filter 
      drains (HFDs), also known as "French Drains", are the main drainage system 
      currently in use in the UK, throughout 7000 km of its strategic road network. 
      Despite being a widespread technique across the whole country, little research 
      has been completed on their design considerations and their subsequent impact on 
      their hydraulic performance, representing a gap in the field. Laboratory 
      experiments have been proven to be a reliable indicator for the simulation of the 
      hydraulic performance of stormwater best management practices (BMPs). In addition 
      to this, stormwater management tools (SMT) have been preferentially chosen as a 
      design tool for BMPs by practitioners from all over the world. In this context, 
      this research aims to investigate the hydraulic performance of HFDs by comparing 
      the results from laboratory simulation and two widely used SMT such as the US 
      EPA's stormwater management model (SWMM) and MicroDrainage(R). Statistical analyses 
      were applied to a series of rainfall scenarios simulated, showing a high level of 
      accuracy between the results obtained in laboratory and using SMT as indicated by 
      the high and low values of the Nash-Sutcliffe and R (2) coefficients and 
      root-mean-square error (RMSE) reached, which validated the usefulness of SMT to 
      determine the hydraulic performance of HFDs.
