Question
Part 2: LOS Analysis
A multilane highway segment has the following roadway and traffic characteristics:
•
1 mile in length
•
Undivided
•
Rolling terrain
•
11-ft lanes
•
5-ft shoulder
•
8 access points
•
3190 two-way peak hour volume (veh/h)
Directional split = 60/40
•
PHF = 0.95
•
8% trucks
• BFFS 55 mi/h
=
How many lanes are needed (peak direction) to accommodate this flow rate with a level of service no
worse than B? What is the v/c? How many vehicles can be added to the peak hour flow rate before
reaching LOS E?
