A 5% upgrade on a six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) is 1.25 mi long. On this segment of freeway, the directional peak-hour volume is 3800 vehicles with 2% large trucks and 4% buses (no recreational vehicles), the peak-hour factor is 0.9, and all drivers are regular users. The lanes are 12 ft wide, there are no lateral obstructions within 10 ft of the roadway, and the total ramp density is 1.0 ramps per mile. A bus strike will eliminate all bus traffic, but it is estimated that for each bus removed from the roadway, seven additional passenger cars will be added as travelers seek other means of travel. What are the density, volume-to-capacity ratio, and level of service of the upgrade segment before and after the bus strike? Before: D = 24.6 pc/mi/In; LOS C | After: D = 28.6 pc/mi/l; LOS D

Introduction to Engineering Design

Students are often confused with engineering and design. The term engineering design has two words with different meanings, engineering, and design. The term engineering implies applications of laws and principles of science to design and analyze physical structures and components. In civil engineering, students apply the concept of physics and chemistry to design and build structures and buildings. In engineering disciplines, the term design means determining the dimensions, loads, and associated influences on the component due to the applied loads such as stresses and deformations. The estimation of such parameters is crucial to make the component or structure foolproof.
