- A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction in mountainous terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 1ft from the right edge. There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The traffic stream consists of mostly commuter with a peak hour factor of 0.84, peak-hour volume of 2500 vehicles, and 4% recreational vehicles. What is the level of service?Problem 2. New freeway is being designed on a level terrain, free-flow speed 70 mph 12-ft lanes, 6-ft lateral clearance Peak hour volume 2700 veh, 12% heavy vehicles PHF = 0.92 FIND: Number of lanes for LOS CProblem 1: A new freeway is being designed through a rural area. The directional design hour volume will be composed of the following 15-min flows: 650, 794, 656, 600 vehicles. The number of trucks and buses in the traffic stream are 250 and 155 respectively – with 0 recreational buses. In average, every 2 miles it will have an exiting/entering ram (or every 1.25 kilometers). This freeway section will have level terrain characteristics. Question: If the objective is to provide level of service C, how many lanes must be provided?
- An urban freeway presently has three 12-ft lanes on a 3 percent upgrade 1.75 mi long. The traffic includes 8 percent trucks and buses (recreational vehicles are negligible). There are no lateral obstructions. Design speed is 70 MPH. (a) What is the present capacity of the upgrade? (b) How much could the capacity be increased by widening and remarking the existing traveled way to provide four 10-ft lanes up the grade?A freeway is to be designed to provide LOS C for the following conditions: design hourly volume of 5600 veh/h; PHF: 0.92; trucks: 6%; free flow speed: 70 mi/h; no lateral obstructions;rolling terrain; total ramp density of 0.75 ramps per mile.Determine: whether eight (four in each direction) 12 ft lanesare enough to provide LOS C.A Class II two-lane highway needs to be redesigned for an area with rolling terrain. During the peak hour, 380 vehicles are traveling in the analysis direction and 300 vehicles are traveling in the opposing direction. The PHF is 0.92. The traffic stream includes 8% large trucks, 2% buses, and no recreational vehicles. What is the maximum percentage of no-passing zones that can be built into the design with LOS C maintained?
- A four-lane rural freeway segment has a 510 m grade length of 2% upgrade followed by a 630 m grade length of 3%. The freeway has 3.4-m lane, 1.5m left-shoulder lateral clearances and interchanges spaced at every 25 km. During the peak hour, there are 6% trucks, 2% buses, 2% recreational vehicles and the rest are passenger cars. Driver population adjustment is determined to be 0.90, peak hour factor is 0.90 and the BFFS is 110 km/h. At present, the freeway operates at capacity during the peak hour in the direction in question. If an additional 3.4 m lane is introduced, and all other factors stay the same, what will be the new level of service?Civil Engineering A four-lane rural freeway segment has a 510 m grade length of 2% upgrade followed by a 630 m grade length of 3%.
