Evaluation of Transportation Projects

Civil engineers undertake a variety of projects related to construction. Building construction projects, structural projects, highway, road construction projects, transportation projects, etc. Transportation projects are related to public constructions that focus to build new connectivity in public transportation. To improve and maintain existing transport facilities also falls under the domain of transportation projects. Some of its objectives include planning, evaluation, designing, development, finance, construction, reconstruction, demolition, rehabilitation, improvement, acquisition, operation, and maintenance. As per the law, all transport projects are authorized to the construction firm that permits them to change the land area meant for public use.

Question 2 A group of 1000 people were surveyed about their preferred method of travel for a particular route. The following observations were made: - Car was the most preferred method of travel, giving three times as much Utility as its nearest competitor - Walking was given a utility 0.15 points lower than buses - Buses were determined to gain an average utility of 0.1 for the route - Trains' utility were rated twice as high as buses Based on this information, how many people would we expect to drive this route on any given day?

pls answer in complete
At a specified point on a highway, vehicles are known to arrive according to a Poisson process. Vehicles are counted in 20-second intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 of these time intervals. It is noted that no cars arrive in 18 of these 120 intervals. Approximate the number of these 120 intervals in which exactly three cars arrive. Wrong answers will be downvoted read question carefully

In 20 of the 150 periods, no automobiles have arrived. Estimate the number of these 150 intervals in which four automobiles arrive at the same time. Please do 3 decimal places. Asaap
Please solve this question. Subject: Transportation engineering 1 mum safety margin is 15 ft, centerline radius is 150 ft). Problem No.3 Space Requirements for a Parking Garage The owner of a parking garage located in a CBD has observed that 22 percent of those wishing to park are turned back every day during the open hours 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. because of a lack of parking spaces. An analysis of data collected at the garage indicates that 65 percent of those who park are commuters, with an average parking duration of 9 hours, and the remaining percentage are shoppers, whose average parking duration is 2 hours. If 25 percent of those who cannot park are commuters and the rest are shoppers, and a total of 220 vehicles currently park daily in the garage (i.e. parking spaces are 220), determine the number of additional spaces required to meet the excess demand. Assume parking efficiency is 0.90.
Determine the severity number for a section of highway that had 2 fatal crash, 48 personal injury crashes, and 105 property damage only crashes during a particular time period. Use a weighting scheme of 50 for fatal crashes, 25 for personal injury crashes, and 1 for crashes with only property damage. Determine the severity index by dividing the severity number by the total number of crashes, thereby normalizing the severity number by the number of crashes.
