The table below gives data on accepted and rejected gaps of vehicles on the minor road of an unsignalized intersection. If the arrival of major road vehicles can be described by the Poisson distribution, and the peak hour volume is 1100 veh/h, deter- mine the expected number of accepted gaps that will be available for minor road vehi- cles during the peak hour.

Traffic volume is 2578 veh/hr with 687 vehicles arriving in peak 15 minutes.There are tow lanes, 12 percent trucks(30/70 split for SUT/TT), the length of the road is 1.8 miles long with a 3.5 percent grade. calculate the analysis flow rate?
4. The three traffic zones A, B, and C shown here have interchanges AB = 10, BC = 15, and CA = 20 (nondirectionally). Growth factors of 2, 3, and 1 are forecast for zones A, B, and C, respectively. Using the Fratar method, compute the zonal interchanges in the forecast year. 10 nine 20 15 C
QUESTION 1 The approaches of a 4-leg signalized intersection are configured with 1 NB lane, 1 SB lane, 1 EB lane, and 1 WB lane and each of these lanes serves LT, TH, and RT movements.

A new section of a freeway is to be designed with a free-flow-speed of 65 mph along of 0.75 mile on 5% upgrade. The expected traffic volume is 4200 v/hr. The traffic composition is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B), how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?
ramps within 3 miles upstream and downstream of the segment midpoint. It is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles and is operating at capacity with a peak-hour factor of 0.9. If the road is expanded to four 11-foot lanes with a 2-foot right shoulder, and traffic after the expansion is projected to increase by 10% with the same heavy vehicle percentage and peak-hour factor, what is the new LOS and estimated density? P-22 Chapter 6 Problems hour. What would be the LOS before and after the heavy vehicles are allowed on the upgrade (assuming 50% SUTs and 50% TTs.)? 6.21 A multilane highway has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and a measured FFS of 55 mi/h. The directional peak-hour volume is 1900 vehicles (the peak-hour factor is 0.80). One upgrade is 5% and is 0.62 mi long. Currently, heavy vehicles are not permitted on the highway, but local authorities are considering allowing heavy vehicles on this upgrade. If this is done, they estimate that 150 heavy vehicles will use…

1- You are assigned to evaluate the level of service for a section of a six-lane rural highway that stretches along a level terrain with shoulder width of eight ft and lane width of twelve ft. The average annual daily traffic is fifty-five thousand vehicles per day with ten percent trucks, five percent buses, and three percent recreational vehicles. The peak hour factor is 0.80 and the directional split is fifty-fifty. The distance between consequent interchanges is two miles. Calculate the level of service for this highway section and show your calculation steps.

Demand volume (3452 vehicle per hour) ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 1 Number of lanes (3 lanes in one direction) Width of lanes (11ft per lane) Lateral clearance on the right side of the freeway (4 ft) Total ramp density (2 miles between ramps, or 0.5 ramps per mile) Percent of heavy vehicles (5% trucks/buses and 0% recreational vehicles) Peak hour factor (0.927) I Terrain (level) Driver population factor (familiar drivers)
A T-intersection is the meeting point of a two-lane minor road (one lane in each direction) with a two-lane undivided highway (one lane in each direction). The vehicles approaching from the minor road must stop, but the vehicles along the highway do not need to stop. Draw all the traffic movements and count the number of conflict points (i.e., major and minor).
A rail transit system has prescribed the following factors:1. Peak hour demand = 30000 passengers/hr2. Minimum required speed = 55 ft/sec3. Deceleration = 3 ft/sec24. Safety factor = 1.455. Vehicle length = 80 ft6. Allowable vehicle capacity = 150 pass/veh7. Guideway utilization factor = 0.838. Minimum headway = 110 secHow many cars should the train consist of to provide adequate passenger capacity?
