A single-lane highway has a traffic density of 40 vehicles/km. If the time-mean speed and space-mean speed are 40 kmph and 30 kmph,r espectively, find the average headway (ins econds) between the vehicles.
A multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) is on level terrain. The free flow speed has been measured at 50mph. The peak-hour directional volume is 1500 vehicles with 10% heavy vehicles, and PHF is 0.9. If the proportion of vehicles types and peak-hour factor remains constant, how many vehicles can be added to the directional volume before capacity is reached?
A multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) is on level terrain. The free-flow speed has been measured at 45 mi/h. The peak-hour directional traffic flow is 1300 vehicles with 8% heavy vehicles. If the peak-hour factor is 0.85, determine the highway’s level of service. Answer: LOS:C

The free mean speed of a roadway is found to be 80 km/hour. Under stopped condition the average spacing between vehicles is 8 m. Determine the capacity flow (in vehicle/hour /lane)?
Eight lane urban freeway is on mountainous terrain with lane width of 12 ft, right shoulder lateral clearance of 4 ft, and 12 ramps over the 6-mi analysis segment. The traffic stream consists of familiar road users. Peak hour volume for a directional weekday of 5200 vehicles is observed with 500 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 10% large trucks and 12% buses and 10% recreational vehicles, determine the density in pc/mi/In. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Exclude the unit in the answer box.
A 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. If 10% of the design volume is expected to be heavy vehicles (i.e. trucks and buses), what is the heavy vehicle adjustment used to determine the flow rate? Provide you answer to the nearest hundredths.
