Question
A traffic engineer has set up a one-mile study segment of a corridor. He measures
the speed of 10 vehicles. Calculate the space mean speed and time mean speed of these
vehicles. If the space mean speed occurs at an optimal flow with a density of 75 veh/mi, what is
the capacity of this roadway?

- A two-lane, one-way, rural freeway segment is being designed to service a demand volume of 4,000 vehicles per hour. The PHF is expected to be 0.95. If the combination of trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles is represented by a heavy vehicle adjustment of 0.85, what is the flow rate (pcphpl)? Provide your answer to the nearest integer.arrow_forwardA segment of rural freeway is being designed for a FFS of 70 mph through rolling terrain. The directional (i.e. one-way) design volume is 3,000 vehicles per hour.
