- Estimate the free-flow speed of a six-lane suburban freeway with 12 ft lanes, a right-side lateral clearance of 2ft,and ramp density of 3.5 ramps/mi. Normal conditions, i.e., good weather, no incidences, no work zones, andregular users of the facility, may be assumed.If there is no pedestrian traffic, the yellow interval needed by northbound vehicles to clear the intersection travelling at a speed of 35 mph is: Question 16 options: 4.6 sec 5.0 sec 4.75 sec none of the aboveTraffic in an interstate at 7:+15 Am and average headway of 3 sec estimate Volume Density Speed
- Choose the right answer Three vehicles are recorded with speeds of 80, 70, and 200 mi/h. Find average time mean speed for these three vehicles to traverse a section of 1 mile. a-80 b-70 c-60QUESTION 7 What is the braking distance (ft) when the design speed is 65 mph, assuming the AASHTO recommended deceleration rate and perception-reaction time.The free flow speed of vehicles on a road section is considered as 80 km/hr and jammed density as 240 veh/km. Estimate the i) traffic density on the road section in maximum traffic flow conditions, ii) possible maximum flow rate for the road section, and iii) average speed of the vehicles at the maximum traffic volume.
- Consider the following data: Design speed = 96 kmph Speed of overtaken vehicle = 80 kmph Reaction time for overtaking = 2 sec Acceleration = 2.5 kmph/sec The safe overtaking sight distance on a two-way traffic road way be nearlyThe length of a highway is 550 m when a head-on vehicle collision occurred. Police reports show that neither human error nor vehicle malfunction was the cause of the collision. Check if the length of the highway is sufficient for an overtaking maneuver. Accident Report: -Speed of Overtaking Car = 96 kph -Speed of Overtaken Car= 88 kph -Perception-reaction time 2.5 sec -Average acceleration = 2.4 m/sec2 -Time of the passing vehicle occupying the left lane (10.4 sec) - Distance between the passing vehicle at the end of its maneuver and the opposing vehicle= 84 m1- You are assigned to evaluate the level of service for a section of a six-lane rural highway that stretches along a level terrain with shoulder width of eight ft and lane width of twelve ft. The average annual daily traffic is fifty-five thousand vehicles per day with ten percent trucks, five percent buses, and three percent recreational vehicles. The peak hour factor is 0.80 and the directional split is fifty-fifty. The distance between consequent interchanges is two miles. Calculate the level of service for this highway section and show your calculation steps.
