Tubibi Highway is a Class II Two-lane highway that is considered a level terrain. Based on the data, 1,631 passenger cars travel on average per hour for both directions with a directional split of 50/50. A maximum of 388 passenger cars is recorded within a 15-min time segment of the peak hour. The traffic stream contains 2% large trucks, 3% buses, and 3% recreational vehicles. Determine the opposing direction flow rate in pc/hr. Answer in two decimal places. 2,953.65 776 margin of error +/- 0.5
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?

In a traffic safety study to reduce pedestrian-vehicle accidents on a level road segment, it was estimated that by a video camera that vehicles moved during deceleration an average distance of 60 m at the moment before hitting pedestrians. If the average speed on this segment is 80 kph, compute the maximum safest speed of vehicles on this segment assuming a deceleration rate of vehicles is 3.4 m/s². Answer: v= 72.7 kph
Civil engineering
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?
