Situation: Many Metro Cebu residents think that when Colon Street undergoes a major reconstruction to repair damaged sections of the highway, it would be impassable to most vehicles. As the newly appointed Task Force Traffic Czar for Metro Cebu, you were asked by the President to propose different alternate routes for vehicles going from Colon Street intersection to a map that contains a displacement vector for every route that drivers should take, and that the result vector of these routes should connect the Colon Street intersection and the Fuente Osmeña Circle. Atleast 2 routes. From Dioniso Jakosalem Street and Vicente Gullas Street Intersection to Fuente Osmeña Circle Exit of B. Rodriguez Street. 1.72 km, 57˚ North of West

What are the possible Existing Traffic Variation?
The Pokuase Interchange is a newly commissioned four-tier interchange that connects the Nsawam Road to the George Walker Bush Highway. The Road Ministry and the Ghana Police Service are worried about hawkers, passengers that are likely to board vehicles at prescribed venues, road fittings thieves as well as the indiscriminate use of the roads by both drivers and commuters. As a planner, identify and justify the use of a planning theory or theories that you would recommend to ensure safe and efficient use of the road.
What are the major types of data that are needed for freeway congestion management? Emphasize on recurrent, non-recurrent, and emergency-event induced freeway congestion.
The City of Gainesville and FDOT, in an attempt to proactively address the growing need for capacity in the western area of Gainesville, has identified a potential alignment for a new freeway to UF campus. The FDOT district has contracted you to design this new freeway and identify any additional concerns with this potential freeway. Note that this is an open question, and you may need to make the following assumptions during your work: Lane width (e.g., 12 ft. or 11 ft) Shoulder width (e.g., 6 ft.) Interchange density (e.g., 1 interchange/2 miles) Number of lanes (e.g., 3 or 2 lanes each direction) Hourly volume V= * D*AADT (e.g., =10%, directional distribution D=50%) A design structural number (e.g., SN= 5.0) The following traffic characteristics are expected on this freeway: AADT=30,000 veh PHF=0.95 85% passenger cars Two 2-kip single axles 7% RVs One 10-kip single axle One 24-kip tandem axle 5% single-unit trucks One 12-kip single axle Two 32-kip tandem axles 3% tractor-trailer…
4. TXDOT is working on the design of I-69 north of Victoria. They project a demand volume of 52,000 vehicles per day with a K factor of 0.12 and a directional distribution of 56/44 in level terrain with a target LOS of B and 17% trucks and buses. They plan to have roughly one diamond interchange every 2 miles. What number of lanes is required to achieve these design requirements? What LOS would occur for a typical 4-lane rural interstate design? DHV = AADT * K * D DHV – design hourly volume AADT - average annual daily traffic K- peak hour adjustment factor D- directional distribution (make design conservative)
Yawi Freeway is a four lane road located in the Metro where trucks, buses, and rvs can be found aside from passenger cars. At some point further along the roadway there is a 5.7% upgrade that is 1.5 km long. If the traffic stream has 25% large trucks and buses and 5% recreational vehicles, what is the heavy vehicle adjustment factor?
Diverts traffic from any existing roadway whenever the construction operations block the flow of traffic. A) Barangay roads B Detour roads C) Bypass roads D) Access roads
Create a new highway design. Choose any area of the Philippines where you believe a road infrastructure would be necessary to enhance the city's or province's current transportation system and stimulate the local economy. This study must include the following: - Considering alignment, cross-section, pavement design, signage use, and safety features during design or improvement. -Create a maintenance and rehabilitation plan for the new highway you propose, or for the proposed renovation of the current highway.
A new freeway is to be designed through a rural area having level terrain. The number of lanes proposed are 2 in each direction. The facility will facilitate 10 percent trucks and buses and 5 percent RVs. If the objective is to provide a LoS C, hwo much traffic volume the facility will facilite in the peak hour. Assume all missing data if necessary.
