Given a data on a two-way, two-lane highway 9km long on a rolling terrain are as follows: Volume = 1500 veh/hr (two way); PT = 14%; PRV = 4%; peak 10 minute volume = 315 vehicles. Percent no passing is 50% for a 50-50 directional split. Determine the LEVEL of service using available data on both class I and II.

A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) is located on rolling terrain and has 12-ft lanes, no lateral obstructions within 6 ft of the pavement edges, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and three ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The traffic stream consists of cars, buses, and large trucks (no recreational vehicles). A weekday directional peak-hour volume of 1800 vehicles (familiar users) is observed, with 700 arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If a level of service no worse than C is desired, c.) Determine the maximum number of large trucks and buses that can be present in the peak-hour Traffic stream. (Round off to nearest integer)
A new basic freeway segment will have 3 lanes in each direction. The left and center lane each has a width of 12 ft while the width of the right lane is 13 ft. The left shoulder is 4 ft while the right shoulder is also 4 ft. There are 2 interchanges within 6 miles (3 miles upstream and 3 miles down stream).The site has level terrain, the design speed is 80 mph the hourly design volume is 5250 veh/h, which includes 9.0% trucks and buses. The peak hour factor is 0.870. Calculate FHV, VP, FFS, LOS Show all work
Given the following prevailing traffic and roadway conditions on a uniform 0.625-mile section of a six- lane (3 lanes each direction) rural freeway in the west-bound direction during a regular weekday: Hourly volume, V=4400 vph PHF-0.90 Heavy vehicles=20% (70% single unit trucks and 30% tractor-trailers) Lane width =11 ft Terrain = 3.5% upgrade Shoulder width =5 ft No entry or exit ramps within 3-miles upstream and 3-miles downstream of the midpoint of the analysis segment Determine the capacity and level of service (LOS) on this section of the freeway.
Problem 2. Consider a freeway section with three lanes in each direction and with a length of 1.25mi (2km) and a +5% grade. In this freeway, the directional peak-hour volume is 3,800 veh/h, from which 76 are trucks and 152 are transit buses. The maximum 15-min volume within the hour of analysis is 1,055 vehicles. The lane widths are 12 ft (3.6m), and shoulder widths are 10 ft (3.1m). There are 2 exit ramps and 1 entrance ramp in the 3 miles in the upstream section and 1 exit ramp and 2 entrance ramp in the 3 miles in the downstream section (consider the same ramp density if using international (km) units). All transit buses will be removed from traffic since the transit service will be replaced by a commuter rail service. However, by removing buses, new additional passage car demand is expected. It is estimated that for each removed bus, 7 new passenger cars will be added to the original traffic volume of 3,800 veh/h. Question: Determine the change in speed and traffic density before…
A eight-lane multilane highway (four lanes in each direction) currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The measured FFS is 60 mi/h. The highway is on rolling terrain with 12% SUTS and 12% TTs, and the peak-hour factor is 0.92. If 13.2% of all directional traffic occurs during the peak hour, determine the total directional traffic volume.
Qu. A two-lane minor road with a +5% approach grade intersects with a four-lane undivided road. Determine the minimum intersection sight distance on the major road required for a stopped single-unit truck to depart from the minor road (in the upgrade direction) and turn right onto the major road. The design speed is 30 km/h on the minor road and 50 km/h on the major road.
A eight-lane multilane highway (four lanes in each direction) currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The measured FFS is 50 mi/h. The highway is on rolling terrain with 11% SUTS and 11% TTs, and the peak-hour factor is 0.92. If 13.4% of all directional traffic occurs during the peak hour, determine the total directional traffic volume.
