Highway Surveys and Location

Surveying is an operation in the civil engineering domain that requires collecting and identifying data regarding an area of land and topography. The data that is collected can be helped to plan and undertake the construction process. Civil engineers perform surveys to gather three-dimensional information regarding a particular area. Engineers specify several points on the surface of the earth and relationship between points, and the distance and angles between the points are evaluated. The data from this evaluation guides in drawing plans regarding buildings and structures.

This is a three-part problem. Two sets of students are collecting traffic data at two roadway stations, station 130 + 00 and station 145 +00. Observations at station 130 + 00 show that five vehicles passed that section at intervals of 0, 3, 4, 3, and 5 sec, respectively. If the speeds of the vehicles were 50, 45, 40, 45, and 50 mph respectively. Note: Stationing is fundamental to highway plans. A station is the horizontal measurement along the Construction Survey Line of a project. Distances are measured and points are identified on plans with reference to station numbers. One hundred feet is equivalent to one station. Highway stationing might be compared with a rope having knots at 100-foot intervals. The beginning end of the rope would be 0, the first knot at 100 feet would be Station Number 1 and would be written as 1+00. The second station number would be 2 (which is 200 feet from the beginning) and would be written as 2+00, and so on. Part A. Determine the time mean speed, in mph.…
Data from a 6ft by 6ft inductive loop detector collected during a 60 second interval indicates that the mean speed of traffic is 50mph among the 32 vehicles counted. Assume an average vehicle length of 19ft. Calculate a. The density, b. The occupancy, and C. The flow rate during this interval.
Table below shows the frequency of each speed collected from a rural highway segment. Caiculate the 85-percentile speed. Note: The 85-percentile speed is designed as the speed at or below which 85% of the traffic is travelling.

Assume you are an observer standing at a point along a three‐lane roadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 30 mi/hr, all vehicles in lane 2 are traveling at 45 mi/hr, and all vehicles in lane 3 are traveling at 60 mi/hr. The spacing between vehicles in each lane is 0.5 mile. If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point for 2 hours, what will be the time‐mean speed and space‐mean speed for this traffic stream?
Question 4 Vehicles begin to arrive at a border gate at 06h50 with a deterministic arrival rate of λ (t) = 5.2 - 0.01t (λ is in vehicles per minute and t in minutes after 06h50). However, the gate opens at 07h00 and serves vehicles at a rate of μµ(t) =3.3 + 2.4t (with t in minutes after 07h00 and u in vehicles per minute). Once the service rate reaches 10 vehicles per minute, it stays at that level for the rest of the day. ● ● Illustrate the operational characteristics of the vehicle queue-delay on a (cumulative) vehicle-Time graph. When will the queue that forms be dissipated? What will be the maximum queue length? Determine the total delay.
Make a cumulative vehicle diagram and queue accumulation polygon based on the following field data collected from an approach at a signalized intersection, namely: 1. Cycle length = 72 seconds 2. Red interval = 30 seconds 3. Green interval = 42 seconds 4. Vehicle arival flow = 900 vehicles/hour %3D %3D 5. Saturation flow rate = 1800 vehicles/hour 6. Vehicle departures every 2 seconds
F] Vehicles travel at constant speeds on a one-lane one-way street between sections X and Y. An observer located at point X observes the four vehicles passing point X during a period of 10 seconds. The speeds of the vehicles are measured as 45, 45, 40, and 30mph, respectively. Calculate the average flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed.
Through the Walla Walla Road to the entrance of the E-1 parking lot at the University of Washington, vehicles begin to arrive from 7:40 A.M. at a uniform deterministic rate of 480 vph until 8:20 A.M. and from then on at 120 vph. It takes 10 seconds for a vehicle to go through the paying process at the gate. If the parking lot is open at 8:00 A.M., determine (a) when the queue will dissipate, (b) the total delay, (c) the average delay, (d) the maximum queue length (in vehicles), and (e) the longest vehicle delay under FIFO. Show your results graphically. [Hint: D/D/1 analysis]

The stopwatch data are grouped into 0.2 sec. Classes. The first column of the table shows the midpoint of each group. The second column of the table shows the frequency of the observations. Compute the following statistical values. a) The speed of each time class in mph (show it in the third column) b) The cumulative percent of vehicles traveling at or below indicated speed shown in the third column in mph (show it in the forth column) c) Mean or average speed (time-mean speed), median, mode, standard deviation, standard error of the mean, average time, space-mean speed, variance, 15%, and 85% speed. d) Plot the cumulative percentage, and show the statistical values of item (c) on the graph. e) Plot the frequency distribution curve and show the statistical values on the graph.
