Question
An existing Class I two-lane highway is to be analyzed to determine the two-way level of service, given the following information:
Traffic data:
PHV _ 600 veh/h
60% in the peak direction
8% trucks
2% recreational vehicles
PHF = 0.86
No-passing zones: 40%
Geometric data:
Rolling terrain
BFFS _ 55 mi/h
Lane width _ 11 ft
Shoulder width _ 2 ft
8 access points per mile

- Determine the value of PTSF for a 6-mile two-lane highway in rolling terrain. Traffic data are as follows: • Volume = 1600 veh/h (two-way) • Percent trucks = 14% • Percent RVs = 4% • Peak hour factor = 0.95 • Percent directional split = 50 - 50 • Percent no-passing zones = 50arrow_forwardThe space mean speed (kmph) and density (vehicles/km) of a traffic stream are linearly related. The free flow speed and jam density are 80 kmph and 100 vehicles/km respectively. The traffic flow (in vehicles/h, up to one decimal place) corresponding to a speed of 40 kmph is SIIRDEDarrow_forward
