Eight lane urban freeway is on mountainous terrain with lane width of 12 ft, right shoulder lateral clearance of 4 ft, and 12 ramps over the 6-mi analysis segment. The traffic stream consists of familiar road users. Peak hour volume for a directional weekday of 5200 vehicles is observed with 500 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 10% large trucks and 12% buses and 10% recreational vehicles, determine the heavy vehicle adjustment factor. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Exclude the unit in the answer box.
A segment of eight-lane urban freeway experiences a breakdown that blocks two lanes completely for a period of one hour in the peak direction. The breakdown occurs at 9:00 AM and is cleared by 10:00 AM. The capacity of the segment is 2,100 veh/h/In, with a maximum queue discharge rate of 1,800 veh/h/ln. Beginning at 9 AM, the traffic demand at this location is: 9:00 AM-10:00 AM 8,400 veh/h 10:00 AM-11:00 AM 8,000 veh/h 11:00 AM-12:00 Noon 7,000 veh/h After 12:00 Noon 6,000 veh/h 1. What is the maximum queue size that will form in this scenario? 2. At what time does the stable capacity value resume?
A freeway is being designed for a location in mountainous terrain. The expected free-flow speed is 55 mi/h. Lane widths will be 12 ft and shoulder widths will be 6 ft. During the peak hour, it is expected there will be a directional peak-hour volume of 2700 vehicles, 12% large trucks and buses and 6% recreational vehicles. The PHF and driver population adjustment are expected to be 0.88 and 0.90, respectively. If a level of service no worse than D is desired, determine the necessary number of lanes.
A rail transit system has prescribed the following factors:1. Peak hour demand = 30000 passengers/hr2. Minimum required speed = 55 ft/sec3. Deceleration = 3 ft/sec24. Safety factor = 1.455. Vehicle length = 80 ft6. Allowable vehicle capacity = 150 pass/veh7. Guideway utilization factor = 0.838. Minimum headway = 110 secHow many cars should the train consist of to provide adequate passenger capacity?
A new section of a freeway is to be designed with a free-flow-speed of 65 mph along of 0.75 mile on 5% upgrade. The expected traffic volume is 4200 v/hr. The traffic composition is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B), how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?
Thank you.
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

Determine the maximum sum of critical volumes that a signalized intersection, with four phases and a cycle length of 120 seconds, can accommodate. Assume that the lost time per phase is equal to 3.5 seconds, and that the saturation discharge headway is equal to 1.9 seconds. Ans: 1,673 veh/hr
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%.
Subject: transportation engineering Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question. A signal has four phases, where the critical lane group flow ratios are 0.115, 0.204, 0.099, and 0.248. If the lost time per phase is 6 seconds and the critical intersection v/c ratio is 0.88, calculate the minimum cycle length and the phase effective green times such that the lane group v/c ratios are equal.
HIKI TO D OSHITENOJ ON DE No. Date 3 A parking facility operates from 8 a.m. to 6p.m, whereby 20% of those who wish to park are turned back daily because of lack of space. A total of 200. vehicles are able to park daily of which 60% park for an average parking duration of 9 hours and the remaining park For an average parking duration of 2 hours. From a survey of the vehicles who are not able to park daily it is known that 20% of these vehicles desire to park for 9 hours and the For 2 hours. remaining desire to Park If the parking efficiency is 0.9, determine: Li) the number of additional space hours required? (ii) the additional number of parking bays required in order to meet excess demand?
