In a traffic safety study to reduce pedestrian-vehicle accidents on a level road segment, it was estimated that by a video camera that vehicles moved during deceleration an average distance of 60 m at the moment before hitting pedestrians. If the average speed on this segment is 80 kph, compute the maximum safest speed of vehicles on this segment assuming a deceleration rate of vehicles is 3.4 m/s². Answer: v= 72.7 kph
On a four legs rotary intersection, the width of both crossed urban streets is equal to 10.0m in each direction. Assume the central island circumference equals 157m, and a circulating width equals 12.0m. Calculate the control delay (seconds) using the Jordanian empirical method based on the following peak hour traffic volumes: Leg U-Turn L-Turn Through R-Turn EB 145 172 1056 409 WB 132 285 1793 462 NB 56 120 476 192 SB 96 149 582 221 • Round your answer to the nearest two decimal places.

Traffic on a freeway gives a Greenshield's traffic flow relationship expressed as: Q = 60k-0.16667k? At 10AM, an accident occurs 4 km downstream of an access ramp. The vehicles pull onto the shoulder of the roadway, but traffic passing the accident area slows to 10 kph as drivers survey the damage on the side of the road. A patrol car enters the freeway via access ramp, also at 10AM. Upon entering the freeway, the patrol car notes that traffic on the freeway is moving along at about 40 kph. Determine the following: 1. Capacity flow of the highway 2. Traffic shockwave created by the road accident 3. Time in AM the patrol car will reach the accident zone 4. Plotted traffic shockwave line in the Q-k traffic model diagram
Traffic volume count has been collected on a 2- lane road section which needs upgradation due to severe traffic flow condition. Maximum service flow rate per lane is observed as 1280 veh/h at level of service 'C'. The Peak Hour Factor is reported as 0.78125. Historical traffic volume count provides Annual Average Daily Traffic as 12270 veh/day. Directional split of the traffic flow is observed to be 60: 40. Assuming that traffic stream consists of 'All Cars' and all drivers are 'Regular Commuters', the number of extra lane(s) (round off to the next higher integer) to be provided, is

A turning movement count and a saturation flow study were conducted at a major intersection on an expressway with configuration as presented in Fig.1. The peak-hour volumes and saturation flows obtained from the studies for each movement are presented in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. i) provide a diagrammatic representation of the signal sequence at the intersection. Assume a yellow interval of 3s, all-red interval of 2s and a peak hour factor of 0.95 for all the approaches. Note: No two movements should conflict during the determination of the phasing plan.
The space mean speed (kmph) and density (vehicles/km) of a traffic stream are linearly related. The free flow speed and jam density are 80 kmph and 100 vehicles/km respectively. The traffic flow (in vehicles/h, up to one decimal place) corresponding to a speed of 40 kmph is SIIRDED
