A 5% upgrade on a six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) is 1.25 mi long. On this segment of freeway, there is 3% SUTS and 7% TTs, and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. The lanes are 12 ft wide, there are no lateral obstructions within 6 ft of the roadway, and the total ramp density is 1.0 ramps per mile. What is the maximum directional peak-hour volume that can be accommodated without exceeding LOS C operating conditions in veh/h? Round of your answer to whole number. Blank 1
A two-lane rural highway carries a peak hour volume of 465 (vph) and has the following characteristics: Roadway: 60mph design; 11 foot lanes, 2 foot shoulders; rolling terrain; 60% no-passing zones; length = 3 miles. Traffic: 70/30 directional split; 4% trucks; 2 percent recreational vehicles; 1 percent buses; PHF = 0.95 a) What Level of Service will the highway operate under during peak periods? b) What is the capacity of the highway? Explain why this is less than 2,800 (vph)?
Determine the value of PTSF for a 6-mile two-lane highway in rolling terrain. Traffic data are as follows: • Volume = 1600 veh/h (two-way) • Percent trucks = 14% • Percent RVs = 4% • Peak hour factor = 0.95 • Percent directional split = 50 - 50 • Percent no-passing zones = 50
A four-lane freeway with the following characteristics: ten foot travel lanes lateral obstructions at 0 feet at the roadside total ramp density is 4.5 ramps/mile rolling terrain The roadway has a current peak demand volume of 3500 veh/h. The peak hour factor is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses, or RVs in the traffic stream because the roadway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited. At what level of service will the freeway operate during its peak period of demand?
6.9 An eight-lane freeway (four lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain and has 11-ft lanes with a 4-ft right-side shoulder. The total ramp density is 1.5 ramps per mile. The directional peak- hour traffic volume is 5400 vehicles with 11% heavy vehicles. The peak-hour factor is 0.95. It has been decided that heavy vehicles will be banned from the freeway during the peak hour. What will the freeway's density and LOS be before and after the ban? (Assume that the heavy vehicles are removed and all other traffic attributes are unchanged.)
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
Determination of Level of Service for Multilane Analysis Example • A segment of undivided four-lane highway on level terrain has: ● ● field-measured FFS 74.0km/h, lane width 3.4m, ● ● peak hour volume (PHV) 1900 veh/h, ● 13 percent trucks and buses, • 2 percent RVs, and ● ● 0.90 PHF. ● What is the peak-hour LOS, speed, and density for the level terrain portion of the highway?
A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles, and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. Determine the hourly volume for these conditions in veh/h. Round of your answer to whole number. fLW = 1.9, fRLC = 0.80, PHF = 0.90, N = 3 lanes PT = 0.10, ET = 3.0.
An existing six-lane divided multilane highway with a field-measure free-flow speed of 45mph serves a peak-hour volume of 4,000 vehicles per hour, with 10% trucks (50% SUT, 50% TT). The PHF is 0.88. The highway has generally rolling terrain. What is the likely level of service for this segment? Good weather, no incidents, no work zones, and regular drivers may be assumed.
A) The following traffic counts were taken on a rural highway during the morning peak hour at (9:00-10:00 am) on Saturday of a week. Time periods (minute) Number of vehicles Find: 9:00-9:30 AM 412 9:30-9:45 AM 702 9:45-10:00 AM 254 1. The hourly volume, the peak rate of flow within the hour, and the peak hour factor. 2. The daily volume for Saturday if the hourly expansion factor (HEF) is 14. B) At a highway segment, six vehicles travel the same distance of 20 miles during 21, 25, 30, 29, 31, and 25 minutes, respectively. These vehicles have stopped at a check points for about 5 minutes. Find the average running and overall travel speeds. C) A parking garage located in Misan city center opens its doors to serve 350 vehicles from 8 am to 3 pm. An analysis of data collected at the parking site indicates that these vehicles are parked for an average of 1.5 hours. If parking efficiency is 0.9, determine the number of additional spaces needs when the number of space-hours increases by 16%.
The following calculations are taken at the approach of an intersection during the morning rush hour. Determine (a) the hourly volume, (b) the peak flow rate in one hour, and (c) the peak hour factor.
A segment of rural freeway is being designed for a FFS of 70 mph through rolling terrain. The directional (i.e. one-way) design volume is 3,000 vehicles per hour. If 10% of the design volume is expected to be heavy vehicles (i.e. trucks and buses), what is the heavy vehicle adjustment used to determine the flow rate? Provide you answer to the nearest hundredths.
