Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

A rural freeway has an ideal free-flow speed of 120 km/hr and two-lanes 3.6 m in each direction, with right shoulder lateral clearance of 1.2 m. Interchange are spaced approximately 5 km apart. Traffic consists of 10% trucks & buses and 8% recreational vehs. If the maximum 15-min flow rate is 1760 veh/hr, what is the level of service on a 1.7 km long 3.1% upgrade?
Eight lane urban freeway is on mountainous terrain with lane width of 12 ft, right shoulder lateral clearance of 4 ft, and 12 ramps over the 6-mi analysis segment. The traffic stream consists of familiar road users. Peak hour volume for a directional weekday of 5200 vehicles is observed with 500 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 10% large trucks and 12% buses and 10% recreational vehicles, determine the heavy vehicle adjustment factor. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Exclude the unit in the answer box.

Determine the value of PTSF for a 6-mile two-lane highway in rolling terrain. Traffic data are as follows: • Volume = 1600 veh/h (two-way) • Percent trucks = 14% • Percent RVs = 4% • Peak hour factor = 0.95 • Percent directional split = 50 - 50 • Percent no-passing zones = 50
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.

The peak hour factor is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses, or RVs in the traffic stream because the roadway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited. At what level of service will the freeway operate during its peak period of demand?

A freeway is to be designed as a passenger-car-only facility for an AADT of 35000 vehicles per day. It is estimated that the freeway will have a free flow speed of 70mph. The design will be for commuters and the peak hour factor is estimated to be 0.85 with 65% of the peak hour traffic traveling in the peak direction. If the k-factor for this freeway is 0.148, determine the directional design hourly volume. 3367 4403 2862 5015
