Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

7. The following are the tabulation of the coverage count of the average daily traffic on a monthly and weekly basis made with automatic traffic counts on a highway. Use the tables to calculate;(a) the ADT for February and October based on 2 days counts: (i) on Tuesday in February the daily counts were 250 vehicles and (ii) on Friday in October, the daily traffic volume was 300 vehicles. (b) the AADT if the flows counted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in July were 8000, 6000 and 5000 vehicles on a 16 hourly count basis.(c) the seven day 16 hourly flow in September.

[T] The following table provides hypothetical data regarding the level of service for a certain highway. Plot vehicles per hour per lane on the x-axis and highway speed on the y-axis. Compute the average decrease in speed (in miles per hour) per unit increase in congestion (vehicles per hour per lane) as the latter increases from 600 to 1000, from 1000 to 1500, and from 1500 to 2100. Does the decrease in miles per hour depend linearly on the increase in vehicles per hour per lane? Plot minutes per mile (60 times the reciprocal of miles per hour) as a function of vehicles per hour per lane. Is this function linear? Highway Speed Vehicles per Hour per Lane Density Range (vehicles / mi) > 60 < 600 < 10 60 - 57 600 - 1000 10 - 20 57 - 54 1000 - 1500 20 - 30 54 - 46 1500 - 1900 30 - 45 46 - 30 1900 - 2100 45 - 70 < 30 Unstable 70 - 200
Question 3 An accident on a freeway of constant flow (arrival rate) of 2430 vehicles per hour occurred at a point X closing the freeway to all morning traffic at 07h00. At 07h15 the freeway is partially opened with a capacity of 1900 vehicles per hour. Finally, the wreckage is removed and, the freeway is restored to a full capacity of 4200 vehicles per hour at 07h35. Assuming a deterministic queue model, (i) graphically illustrate the above traffic flow information (ii) determine the following: - time of queue dissipation ongest queue length - total delay average delay per vehicle - longest wait of any vehicle, assuming a first-in-first-out departure scenario. -
