Question - 1: Traffic needs to be calculated for a road network shown in Figure 1.1. Residential Area Table 1: Traffic data for road section AA Vehicle Type Number of axles 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 B Figure 1.1: Road network Information available regarding the project: The road needs to be designed for 20 years. The roads are two directional and have two lanes. Information available regarding Traffic: Bus Pickup truck Single unit truck Rigid truck Residential Area Classified traffic count was conducted in the region shown in Figure 1.1. Based on the traffic count data, the proportions of vehicle type for road section AA and road section BB are shown in Table 1.1 and Table 1.2 respectively. The total annual average daily traffic in 2018 for road section AA and road section BB are 10000 and 6000 vehicles respectively. Percentage of truck traffic (buses+trucks+trailers) for road section AA and road section BB are 20% and 5%. Articulated truck Articulated truck Using a land usage model, the predicted…
