Yawi Freeway is a four lane road located in the Metro where trucks, buses, and rvs can be found aside from passenger cars. At some point further along the roadway there is a 5.7% upgrade that is 1.5 km long. If the traffic stream has 25% large trucks and buses and 5% recreational vehicles, what is the heavy vehicle adjustment factor?

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.
Consider the problem of traffic flow on a three-lane (one direction) freeway which can be described by the Greenshields model. One lane of the three lanes on a section of this freeway will have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take several hours. It is estimated that the capacity at the work zone will be reduced by 30 percent of that of the section just upstream of the work zone. The mean free flow speed of the highway is 60 mi/h and the jam density is 130 veh/mi/ln. It is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 86 percent of the capacity. Using the deterministic approach, determine the following for the expected repair periods of 1 h, 1.5 h, 2.5 h, 2.75 h, and 3 h.
