A new rural freeway is to be designed in Kentucky to carry a peak-afternoon directional design volume of 1,500 veh/hr on a 4 percent upgrade along a 2-mile stretch. The distribution of the 1,500 vehicles (in 15-minute increments) during the aftemoon peak (4:30 to 5:30 pm) is as follows: Time period 4:30 to 4:45 pm 4:45 to 5:00 pm 5:00 to 5:15 pm 5:15 to 5:30 pm Traffic or vehicular counts 300 400 450 350

Tubibi Highway is a Class II Two-lane highway that is considered a level terrain. Based on the data, 1,631 passenger cars travel on average per hour for both directions with a directional split of 50/50. A maximum of 388 passenger cars is recorded within a 15-min time segment of the peak hour. The traffic stream contains 2% large trucks, 3% buses, and 3% recreational vehicles. Determine the opposing direction flow rate in pc/hr. Answer in two decimal places. 2,953.65 776 margin of error +/- 0.5
The maximum number of vehicles observed in any five-minute period during the break hour is 160. If the total flow in the peak hour is 1000 vehicles, the five-minute peak hour factor (round off to 2 decimal places) is
It is required to design a rural highway in Baghdad city, the anticipated peak hourly volume for the highway section under consideration within one year is shown in table below: Hour No. 5th 15th 20th 30th 1st 4000 3750 3300 45th 50 Volume (veh./hr) 3100 2850 2650 Find the required No. of lanes for this highway (PHF=0.85; DDF 0.6; Truck 10 percent,design service flow for one lane 1080 pc/hr/lane) 40th 2700 2600

Traffic volume count has been collected on a 2- lane road section which needs upgradation due to severe traffic flow condition. Maximum service flow rate per lane is observed as 1280 veh/h at level of service 'C'. The Peak Hour Factor is reported as 0.78125. Historical traffic volume count provides Annual Average Daily Traffic as 12270 veh/day. Directional split of the traffic flow is observed to be 60: 40. Assuming that traffic stream consists of 'All Cars' and all drivers are 'Regular Commuters', the number of extra lane(s) (round off to the next higher integer) to be provided, is
Determine whether a T intersection (one leg on the minor approach) with the hourly volume data satisfy MUTCD Warrant 3 (peak-hr vehicular volume) for signalization. All approaches have one lane entering the intersection. For the warrant that is met, explain how the warrant is met (rules applied, hours in which the volume criteria were met, etc.) and refer to necessary graphs and tables. The major street speed limit is 60 km/h, and the minor street speed limit is 40 km/h.
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%.
