An existing four-lane freeway in rural area is with the following :information Lane width 3.5m, 0.9m lateral clearance, 1800 veh/hr peak hour volume, PHF=0.9, interchange density =0.90, 5% trucks, 5% buses and the road is within a mountainous terrain. Then based on the HCM procedure, the service flow rate (pc/h/In) is
A section of highway has a speed-flow relationship of the form q = au2 + bu. It is known that at capacity (which is 3100 veh/h) the space-mean speed of traffic is 28 mi/h. Determine the speed when the flow is 1500 veh/h and the free-flow speed.
A freeway is being designed to carry a heavy volume of 5000 veh/h on a regular weekday in rolling terrain. If the PHF is 0.9 and the traffic consists of 90% passenger cars and 10% trucks, determine the number of 12-ft lanes required in each direction if the highway is to operate at level of service C. The free-flow speed is 70 mi/h, there is no lateral obstruction, and interchanges are 3 mi apart.

- Briefly describe the traffic characteristics associated with each of the levels of service for basic freeway sections.arrow_forwardEight lane urban freeway is on level terrain with lane width of 12 ft, right shoulder lateral clearance of 4 ft, and 12 ramps over the 6-mi analysis segment. The traffic stream consists of unfamiliar road users. Peak hour volume for a directional weekday of 3200 vehicles is observed with 900 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 20% large trucks and 20% buses and 15% recreational vehicles, determine the density in pc/mi/In. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

- Problem Determine the level of service? for six lanes undivided level highway. The width of lane, shoulder on the right side, and shoulder on the left side are 10 ft, 2 ft, and 2 ft respectively. The directional hour volume is 3500 Veh/h. The traffic composition includes 15% trucks and 1% RVs. The peak hour factor is 0.80. Unfamiliar drivers use the road that has 10 access points per mile. The design speed is 55 mi/h. Discuss possible modifications to upgrade the level of service?

The highway has 10-ft lanes with a 6-ft right-side shoulder and a 3-ft left-side shoulder. The posted speed is 50 mi/h. Previously, there were 4 access points per mile, but recent development has increased the number of access points to 12 per mile. Before development, the peak-hour factor was 0.95, and the directional hourly volume was 2200 vehicles with 13% heavy vehicles. After development, the directional hourly volume is 2600 vehicles with the same vehicle percentages and peak-hour factor.
