Q3: - The new Ring Road that will be constructed in Basrah Governorate is expected to serve AADT of 75000 veh/day. Assuming that a 60/40 directional split (60% in the peak direction), a design hour factor (K) is 12% and the traffic composition includes 75% passenger cars and 25% trucks. Assume truck = 2 pcu, normal growth rate 30% for all design period, generated growth 20%, development growth 250% and Ideal capacity 1000 cu/hr/lane. Determine number of lanes needed for 0-60% the design of this roadway.
If Vf = 2327 VPH with 9% trucks, VR1 = 653 VPH with 5% trucks, and VR2 = 594 VPH with 8% trucks, what is the passenger car equivalents (Vpcph) of the onramp? Assume that the roadway is urban.
A section of a two-lane rural highway is expected to have the following characteristics: Design speed of 80 km/hr, lanes of 3.6 m, walks of 1.2 m, mountainous terrain, 70% of sections without passing distance and length of 7 km. Of traffic 1,321 veh/hr: distribution by direction of 60/40, 10% of trucks, 10% of buses and 80% of light vehicles. Say what is the capacity of the section and the maximum intensity for the NS
A new freeway is to be designed through a rural area having level terrain. The number of lanes proposed are 2 in each direction. The facility will facilitate 10 percent trucks and buses and 5 percent RVs. If the objective is to provide a LoS C, hwo much traffic volume the facility will facilite in the peak hour. Assume all missing data if necessary.
Given the data below: Daily Traffic Count Axle Load (Kips) 1000 (single axle cars) 300 (single axle buses) 120 (tandem axle trucks) SN is 5, Pi = 4.2, 22 40 Pr = 3, design life is 20 years, growth rate is 5%, lane distribution factor = 0.45 %3D Calculate the ESAL.

Q3/ Show how to determine the number of lanes for a multilane minor arterial highway is being designed through a mountain rural area required to serve a current ADT of 5000 ypd. The following data should be used in solution: annual growth rate 4%, design, construction period = 22 years, percent of trucks 10 (pc equivalent factor= 2.0), peak hour factor 90% and the directional distribution factor 60%. %3D
Traffic volume is 2578 veh/hr with 687 vehicles arriving in peak 15 minutes.There are tow lanes, 12 percent trucks(30/70 split for SUT/TT), the length of the road is 1.8 miles long with a 3.5 percent grade. calculate the analysis flow rate?

Demand volume (3452 vehicle per hour) ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 1 Number of lanes (3 lanes in one direction) Width of lanes (11ft per lane) Lateral clearance on the right side of the freeway (4 ft) Total ramp density (2 miles between ramps, or 0.5 ramps per mile) Percent of heavy vehicles (5% trucks/buses and 0% recreational vehicles) Peak hour factor (0.927) I Terrain (level) Driver population factor (familiar drivers)
You are designing a rural highway with a 20-year projected average annual daily traffic (AADT20yr-Future) estimated based on the current AADT( AADT current) of 12,350 vpd. Given the information below, determine the number of travel lanes (for peak direction) required to provide at least LOS C. Traffic growth rate = 3% Directional distribution factor, D = 0.60 K = 0.1 AADTFuture = AADTcurrent * (1 + GR)" • AADTFuture = Future AADT Free flow speed = 55 mph fp = 1.0 • ADTCurrent = Current AADT • GR = Average traffic growth rate per year (in decimal) PHF = 0.83; Level terrain Traffic composition: 10% trucks; 90% passenger cars
