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

1) 1) A section of highway has the following flow-density relationship:
q-50k-0.156k²
What is the capacity (maximum flow) of the highway section, the space mean speed at capacity,
and the density when the traffic flow on the highway is at one-quarter of its capacity?
2) An observer has determined that the time headways between successive vehicles on a section
of highway are exponentially distributed (arrival of vehicle is Poisson distribution) and that 60%
of the headways between vehicles are 13 seconds or greater. If the observer decides to count
traffic in 30-second time intervals, estimate the probability of the observer counting exactly four
vehicles in an interval.

Given a freeway flow study at a certain highway. The speed- density relationship is described in the givenequation or relationship: V s = 58- 0.40k Determine the following:a. Free-flow speed and jam densityb. Derive the equation describing flow and speed.c. Derive the equation describing flow and density.d. Determine the capacity of highway
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.
Problem 6 Traffic on a single-lane urban street observes the following flow-density relationship: q=30k(1-k/180), where q is the traffic flow in vehicles per hour (VPH), and k is the traffic density in vehicles per mile (VPM). Answer the following questions: a. | Calculate the free flow speed, capacity, and jam density of the traffic flow. b. What is the minimum spacing and the minimum (time) headway of the traffic flow? What is the traffic volume when the travel speed is 20 MPH? C.
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. What is the probability that when the barrier is lifted, the queue has exactly nine vehicles? Assume no initial queue.
Suppose you are noticing traffic in a single lane of an expressway at a particular area. The average headway is quantified as 4.2 seconds. The average spacing of successive vehicles is found as 38 meters. According to the findings, compute the average speed, flow, and density of this stream on the lane.
Consider only a single lane of a highway. Based on extensive data from an urban freeway it is assumed thatfree-flow speeds (i.e., there are no jams) can best be represented by a Normal distribution with mean andstandard deviation 119 km/h and 13.1 km/h, respectively.1. What is the probability that the speed of a randomly selected vehicle is between 100 and 120 km/h?2. What is the expected number of vehicles between two vehicles that exceed the posted speed limit of100 Km/h? You can use the Z table for calculating the final answer. You can also write your final answer in form ofR functions or as PDF/CDF of statistical distributions with correct arguments.
Use 2 decimal places in your final 4. Route 1 has a free flow travel time of 10 minutes and the average travel time on this route increases by 3 minutes for every vehicle increase and Route 2 has a free flow travel time of 15 minutes and its average travel time increases by 2 minutes for every vehicle increase. Compare the results for UE and SO conditions with a flow rate is 12 veh/hr, determine the ff: Travel times on each route Traffic volumes on each route Total system travel time ■

This is a three-part question. Data obtained from aerial photography showed eight vehicles on an 800 ft-long section of road. Traffic data collected at the same time indicated an average time headway of 3.7 sec. Part A. Determine the density on the highway in vehicles per mile. Part B. Determine the flow on the road in vehicles per hour. Part C. Determine the space mean speed in mph.
The speed density relationship for a particular road was found to be u = 42.76-0.22k, where 'u' is the speed in kmph and 'k' is the density of vehicles per km. Find the capacity of the road. Give your comment on the result. Sketch the relationship between density and flow and indicate important traffic flow parameters on it.

The following table shows traffic flow data collected at the main road in an urban area, in two successive days during the peak period Day one Day two Time Flow (veh) Flow (veh) 7:30 – 7:45 900 7:45 – 8:00 950 960 8:00 – 8:15 1010 1015 8:15 – 8:30 990 980 (a) Determine the peak hour factor (PHF) (b) Estimate the missing traffic flow count (x) on day two.
Q.48 An observer vehicle travelling along the traffic stream on a 3 kilometer stretch is passed by 30 vehicles more than that it passes and the same vehicle at the same speed travelling against the stream meets 240 vehicles. If the constant speed of observer vehicle is 60 kmph then the flow of the traffic stream is vehicles per hour.
