A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right edge of the traveled pavement. There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. A directional peak-hour volume of 2000 vehicles is observed, with 600 vehicles arriving in the highest 15-min flow rate period. The traffic stream contains 18% heavy vehicles. What is the density of the traffic stream in pc/mi/In?
Determine the value of PTSF for a 6-mile two-lane highway in rolling terrain. Traffic data are as follows: • Volume = 1600 veh/h (two-way) • Percent trucks = 14% • Percent RVs = 4% • Peak hour factor = 0.95 • Percent directional split = 50 - 50 • Percent no-passing zones = 50
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?
Problem 2. New freeway is being designed on a level terrain, free-flow speed 70 mph 12-ft lanes, 6-ft lateral clearance Peak hour volume 2700 veh, 12% heavy vehicles PHF = 0.92 FIND: Number of lanes for LOS C
An eight-lane freeway has a basic freeway segment on rolling terrain. It has 12-ft lanes with a 4-ft right shoulder. There are seven ramps within the six-mile segment. The directional peak traffic volume is 5200 veh/h with 6% trucks and 2% buses. The PHF is 0.90. Calculate the FFS, vp , and determine the LOS
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.)
