III.A state highway department is planning the construction of a 50 mile, four-lanetoll road. It estimates that the construction cost (t = 0) will be $200M and annualmaintenance costs will be $IM per year. In addition, every 20 years, a major resurfacingwill have to be carried out at a cost of $25M. It is estimated that 6 million cars and 400,000trucks will use the road cach year, and it is decided that the toll charged to a truck will be4 times that of a car. The interest rate is 7%.IDetermine what the toll should be for each car and truck to cover all expenses for a planningperiod of 40 years. Assume the toll being charged and the estimated traffic flows do notvary year-to-year.

hree routes connect an origin and a destination with performance functions: ?1=8+0.5?1; ?2=1+2?2; and ?3=3+0.75?3; with the x’s being the traffic volume expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and t’s being the travel time expressed in minutes. If the peak hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user equilibrium traffic flows. [Hint: Note that one of the paths will not be used under the equilibrium condition
For this exercise, you are to design a roadway that is to carry 100,000 people a day (excluding truck occupants) – 50,000 in design direction. The vehicles that carry these people include; (1) personal vehicles (average occupancy of 1.2 people per car) 2-2 kip single axles, and (2) buses with 2-22 kip single axles (assume they are filled with an average of 40 passengers). There are also trucks on the roadway and all trucks have 1-40 kip triple axle, 1-32 kip tandem axle, and 1-8 kip single axle. You know that the soil CBR is 6, the initial PSI is 4.5 and the TSI is 2.5. Other values to be used:  All drainage coefficients = 1.0  Reliability = 90%  Overall standard deviation of traffic = 0.50  Concrete Modulus of Elasticity = 5.5 million lb/in2  Concrete Modulus of Rupture = 750 lb/in2  PCC load transfer coefficient = 3.0 Design a rigid and flexible pavement, to last 15 years, for a four-lane road (four lanes in design direction) with 400 trucks per day in the design direction, and…
Calculate the discounted cash flow for a 14-km rail line development projectconnecting city A with a nearby port B, over a period of 5 years after the yearof construction (t0), assuming an initial capital cost of 180 million euro, a fixedannual maintenance cost of 0.6 million euro per km and an interest rate of 2%.Describe how the level of rail transportation service is expected to change overtime assuming that:(a) A higher initial capital cost is spent to enhance the quality of infrastructure.(b) Half of the maintenance cost is spent annually.(c) The traffic demand is annually increasing more than the expected rate.

13.9. From past records of highway construction and maintenance costs, a state highway de- partment determines the following cost relationships for two-lane bituminous high- ways within the state: c(x) = 0.1.x20 Cm(x) = 3.0-¹ X where the equations hold for (0.5 ≤ x ≤ 10.0) and where x= pavement thickness (inches); c(x)= annualized construction cost (millions of dollars per mile per year); and C(x)= annual maintenance cost (millions of dollars per mile per year). (a) In words, describe the basic tradeoff decision that the highway department must make. (b) Determine the optimal pavement thickness, justifying the type of point found. (c) If pavement thickness can be specified only in whole inches, what is the best pave- ment thickness, considering normal variance in pavement thickness caused by field construction conditions? How sensitive is the optimal cost to small changes in thickness?
