The daily counts of the current traffic volume for a rural highway for one week of May 2000 are as shown in the following table: Sat. Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed. Thur. Fri. Day Daily volume 12000 12500 10500 11500 9500 9000 8500 The traffic is composed of 70% passenger car, 20% bus, 10% truck. The percent of future traffic to current traffic is predicted to be 180% up to May 2020. Determine the required number of lanes for this highway if the lane capacity is 1300 pc/hr.

For this exercise, you are to design a roadway that is to carry 100,000 people a day (excluding truck occupants) – 50,000 in design direction. The vehicles that carry these people include; (1) personal vehicles (average occupancy of 1.2 people per car) 2-2 kip single axles, and (2) buses with 2-22 kip single axles (assume they are filled with an average of 40 passengers). There are also trucks on the roadway and all trucks have 1-40 kip triple axle, 1-32 kip tandem axle, and 1-8 kip single axle. You know that the soil CBR is 6, the initial PSI is 4.5 and the TSI is 2.5. Other values to be used:  All drainage coefficients = 1.0  Reliability = 90%  Overall standard deviation of traffic = 0.50  Concrete Modulus of Elasticity = 5.5 million lb/in2  Concrete Modulus of Rupture = 750 lb/in2  PCC load transfer coefficient = 3.0 Design a rigid and flexible pavement, to last 15 years, for a four-lane road (four lanes in design direction) with 400 trucks per day in the design direction, and…

[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?

H.W Answer the following 1. At a park, if the number of observed vehicle is 102veh/hr, capacity of the park is 200 veh/hr, find the value of parking index, if time duration is 15 min., find parking load. 2. What is the negetive effects of congestion on the level of surface of any trasportation facility ? how could we estimate its index?
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. -
A two-lane, one-way, rural freeway segment is being designed to service a demand volume of 4,000 vehicles per hour. The PHF is expected to be 0.95. If the combination of trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles is represented by a heavy vehicle adjustment of 0.85, what is the flow rate (pcphpl)? Provide your answer to the nearest integer.
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?
