- A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in mountainous terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 1 ft 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 commuters with a peak hour factor of 0.84, peak-hour volume of 2500 vehicles, and 4% recreational vehicles. What is the level of service? (Write the letter only)During the peak hour, an urban freeway segment has a traffic flow of 6,000 veh/h, with 4,000 vehicles with one occupant and 2,000 vehicles with two occupants. The freeway has five lanes, four of which are unrestricted opening to all vehicles regardless of vehicle occupancy and one lane that is restricted for use by vehicles with two occupants. Link performance functions for the length of this freeway segment are tu = 30+ 0.5vu for the unrestricted lanes and tr = 20+2vr for the restricted lane, where t’s are in minutes and v’s are in 1,000 vehicles. Solve for the distribution of traffic among the lanes using the SO principle and compare the savings in person hours relative to a UE solution, assuming that the compliance is perfect and that no single-occupant vehicles use the restricted lanes.An undivided multilane highway segment has the following characteristics: • Six lanes (three lanes in each direction); Lane width of 11 ft; • Speed limit of 45 mph; Right shoulders is 4 ft wide; • There are approximately 25 access points over a 2-mile section of this roadway, in each direction. Calculate the FFS at this highway section and then determine the level of service (LOS) when the flow rate is 1100 pc/h/In. (Write the answer for the LOS in the box below).

(Write the answer for the LOS in the box below).ramps within 3 miles upstream and downstream of the segment midpoint. It is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles and is operating at capacity with a peak-hour factor of 0.9. If the road is expanded to four 11-foot lanes with a 2-foot right shoulder, and traffic after the expansion is projected to increase by 10% with the same heavy vehicle percentage and peak-hour factor, what is the new LOS and estimated density? P-22 Chapter 6 Problems hour. What would be the LOS before and after the heavy vehicles are allowed on the upgrade (assuming 50% SUTs and 50% TTs.)? 6.21 A multilane highway has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and a measured FFS of 55 mi/h. The directional peak-hour volume is 1900 vehicles (the peak-hour factor is 0.80). One upgrade is 5% and is 0.62 mi long. Currently, heavy vehicles are not permitted on the highway, but local authorities are considering allowing heavy vehicles on this upgrade. If this is done, they estimate that 150 heavy vehicles will use…An urban freeway is to be designed using the following information. AADT = 52,500 veh/day K (proportion of AADT occurring during the peak hour): D (proportion of peak hour traffic traveling in the peak direction): Trucks: PHF = 0.94 Lane width: Shoulder width: Total ramp density: Terrain: 3 Determine the number of lanes in the peak direction required to provide LOS C.

There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint.

Determine the peak-hour LOS. (Assume commuter traffic, 5% trucks, and no RVs.)

- An existing Class I two-lane highway is to be analyzed to determine the level of servicein each direction, given the following information:Traffic data:PHV = 600 veh/h60% in the peak direction8% trucks2% recreational vehiclesPHF = 0.86No passing zones: 40%Geometric data:Rolling terrainBFFS = 55 mi/h (88 km/h)Lane width = 11 ft (3.3 m)Shoulder width = 2 ft (0.6 m)8 access points per mile (5 access points per km)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%. 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?Problem 2. Consider a freeway section with three lanes in each direction and with a length of 1.25mi (2km) and a +5% grade. In this freeway, the directional peak-hour volume is 3,800 veh/h, from which 76 are trucks and 152 are transit buses. The maximum 15-min volume within the hour of analysis is 1,055 vehicles. The lane widths are 12 ft (3.6m), and shoulder widths are 10 ft (3.1m). There are 2 exit ramps and 1 entrance ramp in the 3 miles in the upstream section and 1 exit ramp and 2 entrance ramp in the 3 miles in the downstream section (consider the same ramp density if using international (km) units). All transit buses will be removed from traffic since the transit service will be replaced by a commuter rail service. However, by removing buses, new additional passage car demand is expected. It is estimated that for each removed bus, 7 new passenger cars will be added to the original traffic volume of 3,800 veh/h. Question: Determine the change in speed and traffic density before…
