1. A study of freeway flow at a given site has yielded a relationship speed-density calibrated as follows: S = 57,5(1 - 0,008 D) For this relationship, specify: (a) free flow velocity, (b) congestion density, (c) velocity-flow relationship (d) flow density relationship, and (e) capacity. 2. Answer all the questions in Problem 1 for the calibrated density-velocity relationship the following: S = 61.2e^-0015D
Question 2 Because the new travel time rate (TTR) from the additional traffic (e.g., 300vph) exceeds the minimum acceptable local standard of 2.0 min/mile, it is proposed to increase the road capacity by 900vph/lane by adding one lane in each direction. Calculate the new travel time rate and traffic volume using: a. The traditional method of traffic impact analysis, and b. The above-mentioned pivot point analysis method. c. Compare the results of the two methods and comment on their significance.
5. The table below gives data on accepted and rejected gaps of vehicles on the minor road of an unsignalized intersection. If the arrival of major road vehicles can be described by the Poisson distribution, and the peak hour volume is 1100 veh/h, determine the expected number of accepted gaps that will be available for minor road vehicles during the peak hour. Number of Rejected Gaps > t Number of Accepted Gaps >t Gap (t) (s) 1.5 92 3 2.5 52 18 3.5 30 35 4.5 10 62 5.5 2 100
This is a three-part question. Data obtained from aerial photography showed eight vehicles on an 800 ft-long section of road.
