2.12 Design Hourly Volume on a 2-lane urban radial road. The road has a 2-way ADT of 6915 vehicles per day. Transportation planners forecast that this road will carry 22.000 vpd ten years from now. What will be the road's DHV ten years from now? Will more lanes need to be added by that future year? Assume that an urban radial road has a capacity of 2000 veh/hr/lane. A rural highway is to be designed as a passenger-car-only facility for an AADT of 35,000 vehicles per day. The lane capacity is (1800 P.c/hr/lane), with 60% of the peak-hour traffic traveling in the peak direction. Determine the number of lanes required.
You are designing a freeway as a passenger-car only facility, and with ideal roadway characteristics. It is estimated that the freeway will have a traffic demand of 75,000 vehicles per day, a free-flow speed of 70 mi/h, a traffic stream of primarily commuters, a peak-hour factor of 0.88, and a directional distribution of 0.65. Determine the number of lanes (both directions) required to provide at least LOS D using the 60th highest annual hourly volume (K60 = 0.11). The answer is a/an -ane freeway.

Traffic flow equation for a section of road is u=80-0.7 K where 'u' is the speed in kmph and 'K' is the density in vpkm (vehicles per km). The maximum expected flow is:
The 19-Mg truck drives onto the 278-Mg barge from the dock at 25 km/h and brakes to stop on the deck. The barge is free to move in the water, which offers negligible resistance to motion at low speeds. Calculate the speed of the barge after the truck has come to rest on it. 25 km/h 278 Mg 19 Mg Answer: v = i km/h

3. A multi iane roadway is designed for 90 km/h service speed. Estimate the capacity of a single lane of this roadway through analytical reasoning. Ignore the length of the cars. (*
Q 01: a) Explain the importance of Highway Capacity. Also explain Practical Capacity. b) Analyze theoretical capacity of a traffic flow at a stream flow of (50 + 135) Km/hr. Also assume the space gap between vehicles.
The DDHV fora given highway project is 2200 veh/h and the design capacity is 1450 veh/h/ln. The calculated number of lanes in this case is about
Q3: - The new Ring Road that will be constructed in Basrah Governorate is expected to serve AADT of 75000 veh/day. Assuming that a 60/40 directional split (60% in the peak direction), a design hour factor (K) is 12% and the traffic composition includes 75% passenger cars and 25% trucks. Assume truck = 2 pcu, normal growth rate 30% for all design period, generated growth 20%, development growth 250% and Ideal capacity 1000 cu/hr/lane. Determine number of lanes needed for 0-60% the design of this roadway.
