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 freeway traffic stream was observed to have a density of 22.0 veh/mi/ln when the mean speed was 55.0 mi/h. On another occasion at the same location, the jam density was found to be 132 veh/mi/ln. Assume Greenshields' model of traffic flow applies. The optimum speed (in mi/h) is: a) 22.0 b) 33.0 c) 55.0 d) 66.0 e) None of he above
How does the maximum side friction available on a roadway change as vehicle speed increases? O No clear relationship Decreases Increases
3. A building is located 8.8 m from the centerline of the inside lane of a curved section of highway whose radius is 145 m. the road is level and e is equal to 0.10. Determine the maximum possible design speed. Assume the longitudinal and lateral coefficients of friction are equal to 0.35 and 0.13, respectively. Ensure you check speed for both stopping sight distance and vehicle stability. Assume a standard perception-reaction time of 2.5sec.
