Question

A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions (fLw = 6.0 mph) 4 ft from the right edge of the traveled pavement (fic = 0.8 mph). There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. A directional peak-hour volume of 2000 vehicles (primarily commuters) is observed, with 600 vehicles arriving in the highest 15-min flow rate period. The traffic stream contains 12% large trucks (ET = 2.5) and buses and 6% recreational vehicles (ER = 2.0). 1.) What is the estimated free-flow speed of the traffic stream in mph (whole number, nearest 5)? 2.) What is the peak-hour factor 3.) What is the heavy-vehicle adjustment factor? 4.) What is the service flow rate? 5.) What is the service measure value if the average speed of the traffic stream is 65 mph
