Assume an origin is connected to a destination with two routes. Assume the travel time of each
route has a linear relationship with the traffic flow on the route (t₁ = α₁ + b₁×₁ ; t₂

performance functions) tolling cannot reduce the total travel time of the two routes.

- A freeway is to be designed at a location on level terrain for an annual average daily traffic (AADT) of 45,000 vehicles per day. For a conversion of AADT to an annual hourly volume, assume that the K-factor is 0.10 (i.e., the 30th highest hourly volume of the year). In addition, 55% of the peak-hour traffic volume is expected to travel in the peak direction (D = 0.55). This freeway segment will be for regular commuters. Other estimates include: PHF of 0.95, free-flow speed of 65 mph, and 20% trucks of the traffic stream.

CIVIL ENGINEERING ROANTICLO (Earthworks Quantities) (Due Date: Friday, 28/03/2025) Done Thumbi Irrigation Scheme in Mzimba district is under threat of flooding. In order to mitigate against the problem, authorities have decided to construct a flood protection bund (Dyke). Figure 1 is a cross section of a 300m long proposed dyke; together with its foundation (key). Survey data for the proposed site of the dyke are presented in Table 1. Table 2 provides swelling and shrinkage factors for the fill material that has been proposed. The dyke dimensions that are given are for a compacted fill. (1) Assume you are in the design office, use both the Simpson Rule and Trapezoidal Rule to compute the total volume of earthworks required. (Assume both the dyke and the key will use the same material). (2) If you are a Contractor, how many days will it take to finish hauling the computed earthworks using 3 tippers of 12m³ each?
