Q2) An on-line bus stop with one loading area is located fareside of an intersection along rural road. The road has two 3.2 m lanes per direction and is on 5% uphill grade. Parking is not permitted on the approaches of the intersection and close to the bus stop. Currently there are 5 buses serving the route every hour. The following information is given: Dwell time Clearance time Cycle length Green time Heavy vehicle Total volume Left turning vehicles Pedestrian-bicycle blockage factor Base saturation flow :120 seconds :12 seconds :120 seconds :40 seconds :20% :550 vehicles/hour :160 vehicles/hour. :0.95 :1900 passenger cars/hour/lane a) Determine the capacity of the curb lane? b) Assuming that the coefficient of variation of dwell time is 0.80 and the failure rate is 5% calculate the capacity of the loading area? c) Determine the capacity of the bus stop? d) If the bus operator plans to add another 2 buses per hour to this route, will the bus stop be able to accommodate the additional buses?
