Define the following terms and cite examples of how they are used:
1. Average daily traffic (ADT)
2. There are two routes in use between Zones 1 and 2. The volume-delay functions for the two routes
are as follows:
V1
V2
t1 = 22 +
250
t2 = 15 +
150
where
t = travel time(minutes)
V = traffic volume
If the total traffic volume is 6,950 vehicles per hour between the two zones, what are the traffic
volumes and travel times on each of the two routes at a user-equilibrium (UE) condition?
4. Three routes connect and origin and a destination with performance functions
t₁ = 8 + x₁, t₂ = 1 + 2x₂, and t3 = 1 + 0.5x3 (with x's in thousands of vehicles per hour
and t's in minutes). If the peak-hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user-
equilibrium traffic flows on each route. [Ans: x₂ = 0.68]

(b) What is the length of the ramp required to provide storage for all exiting vehicles 90% of the time? Assume the average length of a vehicle is 18 ft and that there is an average space of 10 ft between consecutive vehicles waiting to be served.
