Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

Question

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.

Two routes connect an origin and a destination and the flow is 15000 veh/h. Route 1 has a performance function t1=4+3*x1, and route 2 has a function of t2=b+6*x2, with the x's expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and the t's in minutes. (a) If the user equilibrium flow on route 1 is 9780 veh/h, determine the free-flow speed on route 2(i.e. b) and equilibrium travel times. (b) If population declines reduce the number of travelers at the origin and the total origin-destination flow is reduced to 7000 veh/h, determine user equilibrium travel times and flows.
A rural highway has one lane in each direction. In one direction V = 300 veh/hr/ln at a railroad crossing. The barriers at this crossing are lowered to block vehicles for four minutes and 30 seconds for a train to pass.
