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.

A 6-lane urban freeway is suggested to be designed with the following data: F.ADT = 45000 vpd, design hour factor= 0.12 and directional split = 65%. Rolling terrain, 10% trucks, 5% buses, 6% Rvs, PHF is 0.91 and all traffic are commuters. Then based on the HCM 2000 procedure, the equivalent passenger- car hourly flow rate is about
Eight lane urban freeway is on mountainous terrain with lane width of 12 ft, right shoulder lateral clearance of 4 ft, and 12 ramps over the 6-mi analysis segment. The traffic stream consists of familiar road users. Peak hour volume for a directional weekday of 5200 vehicles is observed with 500 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 10% large trucks and 12% buses and 10% recreational vehicles, determine the density in pc/mi/In. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Exclude the unit in the answer box.
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)?
Vertical and Horizontal Alignment 1. A new interstate is being built with a design LOS of 'C'. Given the road is being designed with wide shoulders on level terrain, a design hourly volume of 4000 vehicles in each direction, a peak hour factor of 0.95, a free flow speed of 75 mph, and an expected 25% trucks. How many lanes should the interstate have in each direction? а. 1 b. 2 С. 3 d. e. 5
A segment of rural freeway is being designed for a FFS of 70 mph through rolling terrain. The directional (i.e. one-way) design volume is 3,000 vehicles per hour. If 10% of the design volume is expected to be heavy vehicles (i.e. trucks and buses), what is the heavy vehicle adjustment used to determine the flow rate? Provide you answer to the nearest hundredths. Response Feedback: f₁ HV 1 1+ · + P ₁ (E₁ − ¹) T T -where PT-0.1, ET=3.0
Problem 1: A new freeway is being designed through a rural area. The directional design hour volume will be composed of the following 15-min flows: 650, 794, 656, 600 vehicles. The number of trucks and buses in the traffic stream are 250 and 155 respectively – with 0 recreational buses. In average, every 2 miles it will have an exiting/entering ram (or every 1.25 kilometers). This freeway section will have level terrain characteristics. Question: If the objective is to provide level of service C, how many lanes must be provided?
A new section of a freeway is to be designed with a free-flow-speed of 65 mph along of 0.75 mile on 5% upgrade. The expected traffic volume is 4200 v/hr. The traffic composition is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B), how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?
A four-lane freeway with the following characteristics: ten foot travel lanes lateral obstructions at 0 feet at the roadside total ramp density is 4.5 ramps/mile rolling terrain The roadway has a current peak demand volume of 3500 veh/h. The peak hour factor is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses, or RVs in the traffic stream because the roadway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited. At what level of service will the freeway operate during its peak period of demand?
6.9 An eight-lane freeway (four lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain and has 11-ft lanes with a 4-ft right-side shoulder. The total ramp density is 1.5 ramps per mile. The directional peak- hour traffic volume is 5400 vehicles with 11% heavy vehicles. The peak-hour factor is 0.95. It has been decided that heavy vehicles will be banned from the freeway during the peak hour. What will the freeway's density and LOS be before and after the ban? (Assume that the heavy vehicles are removed and all other traffic attributes are unchanged.)
/ a. A eight lane ( Both direction) highway which opened to traffic at 2019. Truck and busses percent 10,and 20 respectively , ideal capacity 1100 pcu/day/lane . Determine the average daily traffic at 2009(vpd) when the data was collected (K – factor 10% , D = 70% and n =20 years)
A freeway is to be designed as a passenger-car-only facility for an AADT of 35000 vehicles per day. It is estimated that the freeway will have a free flow speed of 70mph. The design will be for commuters and the peak hour factor is estimated to be 0.85 with 65% of the peak hour traffic traveling in the peak direction. If the k-factor for this freeway is 0.148, determine the directional design hourly volume. 3367 4403 2862 5015
