During the peak hour, an urban freeway segment has a traffic flow of 6,000 veh/h, with 4,000 vehicles with one occupant and 2,000 vehicles with two occupants. The freeway has five lanes, four of which are unrestricted opening to all vehicles regardless of vehicle occupancy and one lane that is restricted for use by vehicles with two occupants. Link performance functions for the length of this freeway segment are tu = 30+ 0.5vu for the unrestricted lanes and tr = 20+2vr for the restricted lane, where t’s are in minutes and v’s are in 1,000 vehicles. Solve for the distribution of traffic among the lanes using the SO principle and compare the savings in person hours relative to a UE solution, assuming that the compliance is perfect and that no single-occupant vehicles use the restricted lanes.

A freeway is to be designed as a passenger-car-only facility for an AADT of 35000 vehicles per day. It is estimated that the freeway will have a free flow speed of 70mph. The design will be for commuters and the peak hour factor is estimated to be 0.85 with 65% of the peak hour traffic traveling in the peak direction. If the k-factor for this freeway is 0.148, determine the directional design hourly volume. 3367 4403 2862 5015
