Civil Analysis of highway section A portion of a four-lane multilane highway with a full median carries 2,600 vehicles per hour during peak hours in the busiest direction. In the traffic flow, there are 2% RVs and 14% trucks. The facility's regular users are mainly motorists. The segment under study is a mile-long, 3% sustained gradient. PHF equals 0.88. Field research has been done to establish that the facility's free-flow speed is 55.0 miles per hour. What degree of service will be provided during peak hours at this facility?

A vertical curve was designed in 2006 for SSD requirements at a design speed of 120 km/h to connect grades G1 = +1% and G2 = -2%. The curve is to be redesigned for 120 km/h design speed in the year 2050. Vehicle braking technology has advanced such that vehicle deceleration rate has increased by 40% relative to 3.4m/s2 value used in the original design. However, due to the higher percentage of older people in the driving population, design reaction times have increased by 20%. Also, because vehicles have become smaller, the driver’s eye height is assumed to be 0.9 m above pavement. Compute the difference in design curve lengths for the 2006 and 2050 designs. Assume heye =1.08 and hobs = 0.60 m.
