During one hour, 1800 pedestrians passed by the observation point on the pedestrian walkway. The flow appeared to be relatively consistent over the hour (i.e. PHF=0.90). The effective walkway width was 5 ft. Pedestrian were moving at roughly 4.25 ft/sec. What was the observed average spacing (ft2/ped)? Record your answer to the nearest integer.

QUESTION 3 Q2-B) For safety purposes, the mall has decided to build an exclusive pedestrian walkway so the bus users can reach the mall without going through the parking area. If you were asked to design this walkway and were provided with the following design data and criteria: • Desired level of service is LOS B • Average pedestrian speed = 3.5 km/hr. • Pedestrian peak hour volume in peak direction = 973 pedestrians. • No pedestrian platooning was observed; and • The grade of the walkway is assumed to be level. Determine the minimum reguired width of the walkway
QUESTION 9 During one hour, 360 pedestrians passed by the observation point on the walkway. The flow appeared to be relatively consistent over the hour (i.e. PHF=0.90). Calculate the pedestrian flow per unit width (p/ft/min) if the effective walkway width was 5 ft. Record your answer to the nearest hundredths.

1.. Please show work and steps. If an approach has a PHF of 0.90 and a counted hourly volume of 800 veh/hr what is the maximum 15-minute volume and peak rate of flow? What is the highest and lowest possible value of PHF? At a given location, the space mean speed is measured as 70 mph and the rate of flow as 2200 pc/h/ln. What is the density at this location for the analysis period? How could you decrease the density by 10%?
