Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

A traffic stream is moving at a steady state when entering a mountain grade. Upon entering the grade, the speed, density and flow are 72 km/h, 25 veh/km and 1800 veh/hr respectively. On the grade, a truck drops to a speed of 15 km/h causing traffic to bunch up to a density of 85 veh/km. When the truck pulls over, traffic accelerates to the maximum flow until steady state flow conditions resume. Calculate (a) the flow of traffic behind the truck on the mountain grade (b) the jam density and free flow speed for this road (c) the density and speed when traffic resumes a steady state flow (d) the maximum flow
A new four-lane divided multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) is being planned with 12-ft lanes, 6-ft shoulders on both sides, and a 50-mi/h speed limit. One 3% downgrade is 4.5 mi long, and there will be 4 access points per mile. The peak-hour directional volume along this grade is estimated to consist of 1800 passenger cars, 140 SUTs, and 60 TTs. If the peak-hour factor is estimated to be 0.85, what level of service will this segment of highway operate under? What is the percent trucks - PT? What is the value of the passenger car equivalence factor - ET? What is the heavy vehicle factor - fHV? What is the median adjustment factor - fM?
A major roadway with a speed limit of 35 mi/h has an intersection that has no intersection control with a minor roadway at a right angle. A building is located next to the intersection at a distance of 50 ft from the center of the near lane on the major roadway and 40 ft from the center of the near lane on the minor roadway. At what speed for the minor roadway is the intersection safe? Grades are approximately level.
A developer has applied for a construction permit to build a supermarket at the southeast cornerof an intersection that is formed by a four-lane divided highway in the east-west direction and atwo-lane road in the north-south direction. Traffic on the two-lane road is controlled by a stop signat the intersection. The speed limit on the four-lane highway is 88 km/h. using the sight trianglerequirements at the intersection (Case B1), determine whether permission should be given for theconstruction if the following conditions exist. Provide a diagram for your solution.Major road lane width = 3.6 mMinor road lane width = 3.3 mMedian lane = 2.8 mDesign vehicle is a passenger carApproach grade = 2%Maximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of four-lane road = 5.4 mMaximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of two-lane road = 16.5 m
