A four-lane freeway carries 2,200 vehicles northbound (NB) in the peak hour. The freeway is relatively steep (2 miles of +4.5% grade NB). Free flow speed is measured at 68.2 mph. 15% of the vehicles are heavy trucks and 30% of those heavy trucks are SUT and the other 70% are TT. The PHF is 0.90. Determine ET, fhv, vp, BP, c, S, D, and the Level of Service (LoS)
Given the following data: Design life n = 15 years, Lane distribution factor D = 0.75, Annual rate of growth of commercial vehicles, r = 6%, Vehicle damage factor, F = 4 and Initial traffic in the year of completion of construction = 3000 Commercial Vehicles Per Day(CVPD). As per IRC:37-2012, the design traffic in terms of the cumulative number of standard axles (in million standard axles, up to two decimal places) is %3D
The 2 southbound lanes of a four-lane (i.e. 2 lanes each direction) urban freeway are 12 ft wide. There is at least 6 ft of lateral clearance on the right side of the outer/right lane. There are two ramps within the influence area (i.e. within 3 miles upstream and 3 miles downstream of the center of the segment. What is the estimated FFS (mph)?
