Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

A four-lane basic freeway segment on level terrain is being redesigned. The current roadway has 12 ft lanes with 4 ft shoulders. The proposed alignment would expand to six 11-ft lanes with 2 ft shoulders. The road carries 3000 vehicles in the peak hour in one direction, with 925 coming in the peak 15 minutes. The truck mix is 70/30 and makes up 10% of traffic. What is the density and LOS (level of service) before and after the proposed change?
An existing Class I two-lane highway is to be analyzed to determine the level of servicein each direction, given the following information:Traffic data:PHV = 600 veh/h60% in the peak direction8% trucks2% recreational vehiclesPHF = 0.86No passing zones: 40%Geometric data:Rolling terrainBFFS = 55 mi/h (88 km/h)Lane width = 11 ft (3.3 m)Shoulder width = 2 ft (0.6 m)8 access points per mile (5 access points per km)
A section of the roadway has the following flow-density relationship q=50k-0.4k^2 [q is in veh/h unit and k in vh/mile]. What is the flow, speed,and density at capacity? What is the density when highway is at one-third of its capacity.

Demand volume (3452 vehicle per hour) ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 1 Number of lanes (3 lanes in one direction) Width of lanes (11ft per lane) Lateral clearance on the right side of the freeway (4 ft) Total ramp density (2 miles between ramps, or 0.5 ramps per mile) Percent of heavy vehicles (5% trucks/buses and 0% recreational vehicles) Peak hour factor (0.927) I Terrain (level) Driver population factor (familiar drivers)
An undivided multilane highway segment has the following characteristics: • Six lanes (three lanes in each direction); Lane width of 11 ft; • Speed limit of 45 mph; Right shoulders is 4 ft wide; • There are approximately 25 access points over a 2-mile section of this roadway, in each direction. Calculate the FFS at this highway section and then determine the level of service (LOS) when the flow rate is 1100 pc/h/In. (Write the answer for the LOS in the box below).
Civil Engineering A four-lane rural freeway segment has a 510 m grade length of 2% upgrade followed by a 630 m grade length of 3%. The freeway has 3.4-m lane, 1.5m left-shoulder lateral clearances and interchanges spaced at every 25 km. During the peak hour, there are 6% trucks, 2% buses, 2% recreational vehicles and the rest are passenger cars. Driver population adjustment is determined to be 0.90, peak hour factor is 0.90 and the BFFS is 110 km/h. At present, the freeway operates at capacity during the peak hour in the direction in question.
