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.

QUESTION 7 An old divided 6-lane (3 lanes each direction) highway has 11 ft lanes and obstructions leaving no more than 2 ft of clearance on each side of the roadway. There are no driveways or intersections on the segment of interest. Given a posted speed limit of 50 mph, estimate the FFS (mph) for the 3 northbound lanes? Provide the answer to the nearest tenths.
QUESTION 4 A segment of a 4-lane highway is being designed for a FFS of 60 mph through relatively level terrain. The directional (i.e. one-way) design volume is 1,200 vehicles per hour. If 15% 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.
2cb) The average speed of a 1st group of vehicles over a road msegment is per 45 km/h and their flow is 1350 vehicles hour. The average speed of a 2nd group of vehicles over the same segment is 40 km/h and their flow is 1800 hour. Determine the maximum flow of the vehicles per whole traffic stream?

Q1 Fill in the blanks: 1. When the roadway capacity = 1000 pcu/hr and demand = 1500 pcu/hr, the volume = ----------- 2. can be defined as the number of vehicles occupying a given length of lane or roadway at a particular instant. 3. Segment Length 1Km, Speed Limit = 60 Km/hr, the delay of vehicle is ------- if the average speed 45 km/hr. 4. At free flow speed, the density equal to 5. Headway can be defined as
H.w Try only ten): 1. The flow is zero on the highway only if the density equals to zero. 2. Density is the number of vehicle passing during a given width of lane of roadway. 3. If an accident occure during the way, it could be say that it is uninterreputed flow. 4. Mobility for arterial road is grater than the mobility of local road. 5. 85 th percentile of spot speed cumulative curve represents the highway speed limit. 6. One of the most important of on street parking is mechanical garage. 7. As angle of parking increase, more accidents would be occure. 8. At jam density, density of flow is zero. 9. PHF of rural region is less than the PHF in urban region. 10.Stopping time delay occure ar intersection. 11.Future traffic includes only generated and developed traffic. 12.As the tunover duration of the parking increase, operation of the parking increases also.
A lane on a freeway displays the following characteristics: (a) the average headway between vehicles is 2.8s, and (b) the average spacing between vehicles is 235 ft. What is the rate of flow for the lane? What is the density of traffic in the lane? What is the average speed (in mph)?
Determination of Level of Service for Multilane Analysis Example • A segment of undivided four-lane highway on level terrain has: ● ● field-measured FFS 74.0km/h, lane width 3.4m, ● ● peak hour volume (PHV) 1900 veh/h, ● 13 percent trucks and buses, • 2 percent RVs, and ● ● 0.90 PHF. ● What is the peak-hour LOS, speed, and density for the level terrain portion of the highway?
