A freeway with two northbound lanes is shut down because of an accident. At the time of theaccident, the traffic flow rate is 1200 vehicles per hour per lane and the flow remains at this level.The capacity of the freeway is 2200 vehicles per hour per lane when not impacted by an accident.The freeway is shut down completely for 20 minutes after the accident and then one lane is openfor 20 minutes and finally both lanes are opened (40 minutes after the accident). What is theaverage delay per vehicle resulting from the accident (assuming D/D/1 queuing)?
A segment of rural freeway is being designed for a FFS of 70 mph through rolling terrain. The directional (i.e. one-way) design volume is 3,000 vehicles per hour. If 10% of the design volume is expected to be heavy vehicles (i.e. trucks and buses), what is the heavy vehicle adjustment used to determine the flow rate? Provide you answer to the nearest hundredths. Response Feedback: f₁ HV 1 1+ · + P ₁ (E₁ − ¹) T T -where PT-0.1, ET=3.0

An accident occurs on a one-lane highway and blocks off all lanes of traffic. This freeway has a jam density of 130 veh/mi. Before the accident occurred (and upstream of the queue that forms), traffic was (is) traveling at an average speed of 45 mi/h and density of 30 veh/mi. Assume that the following conditions are present: ● ● Before the queue: Uupstream = 45 mi/h, kupstream = 30 veh/mi After the queue: Udownstream = 60 mi/h, kdownstream = 0 veh/mi Jam Density: kj = 130 veh/mi How long is the queue after 25 minutes?
QUESTION 4 A segment of a 4-lane highway is being designed for a FFS of 60 mph through relatively level terrain. The directional (i.e. one-way) design volume is 1,200 vehicles per hour. If 15% of the design volume is expected to be heavy vehicles (i.e. trucks and buses), what is the heavy vehicle adjustment used to determine the flow rate? Provide you answer to the nearest hundredths.

5. A traffic accident occurred along the North Diversion road at 6:00 AM. The flow rate on the expressway at this time of day was 53 vehicles per min. The normal freeway capacity is 75 vehicles per minute but it was reduced to 21 vehicles per minute due to the traffic accident. The traffic was cleared by the MMDA after an hour minutes. A) Determine the max. length of the queue before the blockage was removed B) Determine the time that the vehicles waited for the long queue before the blockage was cleared C) What time was the queue cleared?
