- At an unsignalized intersection, traffic stream on the 4-lane major street has 10 gaps of 4.5 seconds and 20 gaps of 8.6 seconds. The maximum number of left turning vehicles from the major that can be accommodated isA long segment of suburban freeway is to be designed on level terrain. The level segment, however, is followed by a 4.5% grade, 2.0 miles in length. If the DDHV is 2,500 vehicles per hour with 15% trucks (standard mix), how many lanes will be needed on the (A.) Upgrade, (B.) Downgrade, (C.) Level terrain segment to provide for level of service C? Lane widths and lateral clearances may be assumed to be 12 feet and 6 feet, respectively. Ramp density is expected to be 1.0 ramps per mile. The PHF is 0.92. Good weather, no incidents, no work zones, and regular users of the facility may be assumed.Traffic flow on a three-lane (one direction) freeway can be described by the Greenshields model. One lane of the three lanes on a section of this freeway will have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take 2 hours. It is estimated that the capacity at the work zone will be reduced by 35 percent of that of the section just upstream of the work zone. The mean free flow speed of the highway is 60 mi/h and the jam density is 125 veh/mi/ln. If it is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 90 percent of the capacity, using the deterministic approach, determine the following. (a) the maximum queue length (in veh) that will be formed Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. veh (b) the total delay (in h) Your response differs…
- which type of urban road would have free-flow traffic characteristics? 1. Arterial 2. Local 3. Freeway 4. CollectorA 5% upgrade on a six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) is 1.25 mi long. On this segment of freeway, there is 3% SUTS and 7% TTs, and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. The lanes are 12 ft wide, there are no lateral obstructions within 6 ft of the roadway, and the total ramp density is 1.0 ramps per mile. What is the maximum directional peak-hour volume that can be accommodated without exceeding LOS C operating conditions in veh/h? Round of your answer to whole number.

- Consider the problem of traffic flow on a three-lane (one direction) freeway which can be described by the Greenshields model. One lane of the three lanes on a section of this freeway will have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take several hours. It is estimated that the capacity at the work zone will be reduced by 30 percent of that of the section just upstream of the work zone. The mean free flow speed of the highway is 60 mi/h and the jam density is 130 veh/mi/ln. It is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 86 percent of the capacity. Using the deterministic approach, determine the following for the expected repair periods of 1 h, 1.5 h, 2.5 h, 2.75 h, and 3 h. (a) the maximum queue length (in veh) that will be formed 1 h veh1.5 h veh2.5 h veh2.75 h veh3 h veh (b) the total delay (in h) 1 h h1.5 h h2.5 h h2.75 h h3 h h (c) the number of vehicles that will…Problem 2.
