5. Vehicle time headways and spacings were measured at a point along a highway, from a single lane over the course of an hour. The average values were calculated as 2.5 sec/veh for headway and 200 ft/veh for spacing. What was the average speed? [54.4 mph]

1- You are assigned to evaluate the level of service for a section of a six-lane rural highway that stretches along a level terrain with shoulder width of eight ft and lane width of twelve ft. The average annual daily traffic is fifty-five thousand vehicles per day with ten percent trucks, five percent buses, and three percent recreational vehicles. The peak hour factor is 0.80 and the directional split is fifty-fifty. The distance between consequent interchanges is two miles. Calculate the level of service for this highway section and show your calculation steps.
Assume that the speed-density function of a section of highway follows Greenshield's Model. The free-flow speed is 75 mph and the jam density is 176 veh mi lane a. Derive V as a function of S. b. In 15 minutes, you have counted that V=150 veh 15 minute lane Estimate the two possible speeds S (in mph) during this 15 minute period.
A section of highway having a length 60 m. The observed data are 6 vehicles cross over it in a period of 148 sec., for the following duration: 2.4, 2.8, 3.0, 2.1, 2.2, and 3.5 sec. Estimate the values of the flow rate, density, space-mean speed, time-mean speed, average gap, and average clearance. If the length of vehicles are 6, 5.4, 6.6, 4.8, 7.5, and 6 m respectively?
Traffic data are collected between Point X and Y. Seven vehicles pass in Point X at intervals of 18, 17, 19, 28, 25, 22, and 24 sec respectively. The vehicle's speeds are 60, 50, 55, 58, 52, 49, and 30 kph respectively. Calculate the flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed. Determine also the length of the segment.

a) At certain on-street parking, determine the number of parking spaces required to park vehicles in angles (0°, 45°, and 90° degree) if the length of the curb =240 ft, then show the layouts with dimensions. b) Briefly describe the classification of parking facilities and the methodology of parking studies. c) A traffic engineer records the travel times for six vehicles (1.35, 1.15, 1.75, 1.4, 1.8, and 1.4 minutes). These vehicles are traveling a 0.75-mile segment of a highway. Determine space mean speed (SMS) and time mean speed (TMS).

Q3/A subway traveling at 40 km/hr decelerates as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its reduced velocity is noted to be 30 km/hr as it passes point C. A vehicle which is moving at 25 km/hr passes point B at the same instant that the subway reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the subway to the crossing, the driver "steps on the gas." (a) Calculate the constant acceleration Car amit a that the car must have in order to beat subway to the crossing the velocity of the car as it reaches the crossing.

2.30 An engineering student is driving on a level roadway and sees a construction sign 500 ft ahead in the middle of the roadway. The student strikes the sign at a speed of 25 mi/h. If the student was traveling at 55 mi/h when the sign was first spotted, what was the student's associated perception/reaction time (use practical stopping distance)?
