A long segment of suburban freeway is to be designed on level terrain. The level segment, however, is followed by a 4.5% grade, 2.0 miles in length. If the DDHV is 2,500 vehicles per hour with 15% trucks (standard mix), how many lanes will be needed on the (A.) Upgrade, (B.) Downgrade, (C.) Level terrain segment to provide for level of service C? Lane widths and lateral clearances may be assumed to be 12 feet and 6 feet, respectively. Ramp density is expected to be 1.0 ramps per mile. The PHF is 0.92. Good weather, no incidents, no work zones, and regular users of the facility may be assumed.

A two-lane rural highway carries a peak hour volume of 465 (vph) and has the following characteristics: Roadway: 60mph design; 11 foot lanes, 2 foot shoulders; rolling terrain; 60% no-passing zones; length = 3 miles. Traffic: 70/30 directional split; 4% trucks; 2 percent recreational vehicles; 1 percent buses; PHF = 0.95 a) What Level of Service will the highway operate under during peak periods? b) What is the capacity of the highway? Explain why this is less than 2,800 (vph)?
A rail transit system has prescribed the following factors:1. Peak hour demand = 30000 passengers/hr2. Minimum required speed = 55 ft/sec3. Deceleration = 3 ft/sec24. Safety factor = 1.455. Vehicle length = 80 ft6. Allowable vehicle capacity = 150 pass/veh7. Guideway utilization factor = 0.838. Minimum headway = 110 secHow many cars should the train consist of to provide adequate passenger capacity?
B- A traffic count was conducted to a rural highway if the peak 15 mints 800 vehicles and peak hourly factor (PHF) 0.95 the directional distribution (35:65)% and traffic composition is 75%p.c and 25%truck, 1-Estimate the number of lanes required ? (capacity = 2000 PC/hr/1 lane) 2- Estimate Level of service if the free flow speed 110 km/hr.
A 3.25-mile segment of undivided, four-lane highway is primarily on level terrain. The highway segment does, however, contain one sustained grade of 2.5% that is 3,200 ft long. Other relevant information include: Base free-flow speed = 65 mph %3! 11-ft lanes • 4 ft clearance at the roadside (right side) • 20 access points/mile Peak-hour volume = 1,900 veh/h 13% trucks; 2% RVs • PHF = 0.90 • Familiar facility users At what LOS is the highway expected to operate? (Hint: Three different analyses will be needed: a) the level terrain portion of the highway, b) the 2.5% upgrade portion of the highway, and c) the 2.5% downgrade portion of the highway.)
(PLEASE USE FIGURE 14.5 TO ANSWER THE QUESTION) A consecutive upgrade consists of two sections, the first of 2 percent grade and 5000 ft long, and the second of 6 percent grade and 5000 ft long. Trucks comprise 10 percent of traffic. And recreational vehicles comprise 6 percent. Determine: the equivalent grade the PCEs
