- 4. TXDOT is working on the design of I-69 north of Victoria. They project a demand volume of 52,000 vehicles per day with a K factor of 0.12 and a directional distribution of 56/44 in level terrain with a target LOS of B and 17% trucks and buses. They plan to have roughly one diamond interchange every 2 miles. What number of lanes is required to achieve these design requirements? What LOS would occur for a typical 4-lane rural interstate design? DHV = AADT * K * D DHV – design hourly volume AADT - average annual daily traffic K- peak hour adjustment factor D- directional distribution (make design conservative)Oasis Freeway is a four lane road located in the Metro where trucks, buses, and rvs can be found aside from passenger cars. At some point further along the roadway there is a 5.5% upgrade that is 1.3 km long. If the traffic stream has 25% large trucks and buses and 5% recreational vehicles, what is the heavy vehicle adjustment factor?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…

- Traffic flow on a three-lane (one direction) freeway can be described by the Greenshields model. One lane of the three lanes on a section of this freeway will have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take 2 hours. It is estimated that the capacity at the work zone will be reduced by 35 percent of that of the section just upstream of the work zone. The mean free flow speed of the highway is 50 mi/h and the jam density is 115 veh/mi/In. If it is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 85 percent of the capacity, using the deterministic approach, determine the following.
