A six-lane highway (3 lanes in each direction) is being designed to service a directional demand volume of 3,200 vehicles per hour. The PHF is expected to be 0.90. If the combination of trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles is represented by a heavy vehicle adjustment of 0.80, what is the flow rate (pcphpl)? Provide your answer to the nearest integer.

The relationship between flow and density on a four-lane highway (two lanes per direction) is known to follow GreenShiled's model, with a free flow speed of 100 km/h and a jam density of 80 veh/km/lane. One of the two lanes of the EB direction will be closed for an entire month for maintenance. The traffic demand for the highway on a typical weekday is shown in the table below. a) What is the maximum length of the queue upstream of the bottleneck during both the morning and afternoon peak hours? b) At what time will the morning and afternoon queues be dissipated? c) Draw the shock wave diagram (for the entire day) showing shock wave speeds, critical times, and distances.

Q2: a. Show how to determine the number of lanes for a rural highway required to serve a current volume 5000 veh/day. The following data are to be used: annual growth rate = 4%, design and construction period = 22 years, percent of trucks = 10 (pc equivalent factor = 2), design capacity of lane = 900 pc/hr/lane and the directional distribution factor = 75%.
Two lanes of the four lanes on a highway section have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take 120minutes hr. The highway's mean free speed is 90km/h, and the jam density is 140 veh/km/ln. If it is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 80% of the capacity (max flow), using the deterministic approach, determine: 1. The maximum queue length that will be formed.2. The number of vehicles that will be affected by the incident.3. The average individual delay.
