A six-lane recreational freeway has the following characteristics: • 12 ft lanes • 6 ft right-side lateral clearance • 2 ramps/mile • 10% trucks (standard mix, which means for freeways is 70% SUTs/30%TTs)) • PHF = 0.95 • Level terrain • Peak hour demand = 4,000 veh/h Because the facility services recreational users to a nearby ski area, the peak period occurs on weekends, and light to moderate snow is the normal weather pattern. If virtually all uses of the facility are unfamiliar with the roadway, what is the expected LOS during the peak period?

- Analysis of an older urban Freeway A section of an old freeway in New York City. It is a four-lane freeway (additional service roads are shown in the picture) with the following characteristics: • Ten-foot travel lanes • Lateral obstructions at 0 ft at the roadside • Interchange density = 2.0 interchanges per mile •Rolling terrain The roadway has a current peak demand volume of 3,500 veh/h. The peak-hour factor is 0.95, and there are no trucks, buses, or RVs in the traffic stream, as the roadway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited At what level of service will the freeway operate during its peak period of demand
The predicted traffic mix of a proposed four-lane urban non-interstate freeway: Passenger cars (4.44kN/axle) = 65% 2-axle single unit trucks (22.2kN/axle) = 24% 2-axle single unit trucks (40kN/axle) = 6% 3-axle or more single-unit trucks (100kN/axle) = 3% 3-axle or tractor semitrailers and combinations (90kN/axle) = 2% The projected AADT during the first year of operation is 4000 (in both directions). If the traffic growth rate is estimated at 4%, the percent of the traffic on the design lane is 43%, pt =2.5, and SN =3, calculate the design ESAL at the design life of 25 years.

The predicted traffic mix of a proposed 4-lane urban non-interstate freeway is: Passenger cars = 78%Single Unit Trucks:2-axle 22.2 kN/axle =12%2-axle 39.9 kN/axle =4%3-axle or more 102 kN/axle =3% Tractor semitrailers and combinations: 3-axle 88.8kN/axle = 3%The projected AADT during the first year of operation is 3900 (both directions). If the traffic growth rate is 3%, and CBR of the subgrade is 7.5%, determine the depth of a full-asphalt pavement using the AASHTO (1993) method and design life of the pavement is 20 years. The resilient modulus of asphalt is 2206 MPa. Assume the mi of subgrade is 1, and percent of traffic on the design line is 42%. Initial serviceability index is 4.5, terminal present serviceability index is 2.5, and SN=4. Use a reliability of 90%, a standard deviation of 0.45.NOTE: All the steps that are followed during the design must be shown and explained clearly. Only number without explanations will not get any credit.
