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%.
Problem 2: A Class III two-lane highway is on level terrain, has a measured free-flow speed of 45 mi/h, and has 100% no-passing zones. During the peak hour, the analysis direction flow rate is 150 veh/h, the opposing direction flow rate is 100 vehh, and the PHF = 0.95. There are 5% large trucks and 10% recreational vehicles. Determine the level of service.
Eight lane urban freeway is on level 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 unfamiliar road users. Peak hour volume for a directional weekday of 3200 vehicles is observed with 900 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 20% large trucks and 20% buses and 15% recreational vehicles, determine the exact demand flow rate (in pc/h/In). Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Exclude the unit in the answer box.
1) A 6-lane two-way arterial road has a maximum flow of 6,000 vehicles per hour on one direction. It is operating at 3,600 vehicles per hour at time, t=0. A collision occurs, blocking the two lanes, and restricting the flow of the outermostlane to 1,600 vehicles per hour. After 40minutes, the police have cleared the middlelane from accident debris; the operating volume at that time increased to 2,400 vehicles per hour.20 minutes past, the innermost lane was finally cleared of the accident. Traffic returns to normalas soon as the queue has already immoderate. a.Determine the maximum length of queue that occurred. b.How long did it take to dissipate the queue? c.If a vehicle entered the road at t=10 minutes, how long will it take for it to leave the traffic?
