Step by step
Solved in 3 steps with 1 images
- An expressway off-ramp consisting of a single lane leads directly to a tollbooth. The rate of arrival of vehicles at the expressway can be considered to be Poisson with a 6-24 www.Civil08.com - The Download Monster Chapter 6 Fundamental Principles of Traffic Flow 263 mean of 50 veh/h, and the rate of service to vehicles can be assumed to be exponen- tially distributed with a mean of 1 min. (a) What is the average number of vehicles waiting to be served at the booth (that is, the number of vehicles in queue, not including the vehicle being served)? (b) What is the length of the ramp required to provide storage for all exiting vehicles 85% of the time? Assume the average length of a vehicle is 20 ft and that there is an average space of 5 ft between consecutive vehicles waiting to be served. (c) What is the average waiting time a driver waits before being served at the toll- booth (that is, the average waiting time in the queue)?Vehicles at a stop sign require 7 second headway to cross the main street that is located 300 meters downstream from a signalised intersection. If the average flow rate of the main street is 600 vehicle per hour, the min headway is 2.5 seconds and vehicle bunching with 70% free vehicles. What is the probability that a headway will be greater than 7 seconds? O a. 0.105 O b. 0.291 O c. 0.078 O d. 0.204 O e. 0.285Six vehicles are observed in a 200 m section of a highway. If the average time headway is 4 sec., determine the density of flow (veh/km), flow of traffic (veh/hr) and space mean speed (kph).
- Supposed vehicles arrive at a signalized road intersection at an average rate of 360 veh/hr and the cycle of the traffic light is set at 40 seconds. In what percentage of cycles will the number of vehicles be arriving: a. Exactly 5 b. Less than 5 If, after the lights change to green, there is time to clear only 5 vehicles before the signal changes to red again, what is the probability that waiting vehicles are not cleared in one cycle?determine the accident rate. If the number of accidents for 7 years recorded in a certain intersection is 5877 and if the average daily traffic is 485.When an incident occurs that causes two lanes to be closed, a three-lane highway in one direction is carrying a total volume of 4700 veh/h. Calculate the maximum queue length, total delay, number of vehicle impacted by the event and average individual delays if the highways capacity is 2550 veh/h/ln. It takes 120 minutes to clear the obstacle.
- 1. An equation has been calibrated for the amount of time (in seconds) required to clear N vehicles through a given signal phase (N>5): T= 2.04 +2.35N a. What start-up lost time does this equation suggest? b. What saturation headway and saturation flow rate are implied by the equation? 2 The saturation flow rate for an intersection approach is 3600 veh/h. At the beginning of a cycle (effective red) no vehicles are queued. The signal is timed so that when the queue (from the continuously arriving vehicles) is 13 vehicles long, the effective green begins. If the queue dissipates 8 seconds before the end of the cycle and the cycle length is 60 seconds, what is the arrival rate, assuming D/D/1 queuing? 3 An intersection has a four-phase signal with the movements allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in The table below Calculate the sum of the flow ratios for the critical lane groups. Phase Allowed movements Analysis flow rate Saturation flow rate…The density of traffic in a certain observation point on a highway was recorded to be 30 veh/km. If the space mean speed of the vehicle is 50 kph, how many vehicles will be passing every 20 minutes? OA 255 O B. 750 OC. 50 O D. 500 O E. None of the aboveObservation post reveals that 8 vehicles passed through at intervals of 4.6 s, 6.23 s, 5.9 s, 7.1 s, 4.9 s, 3.8 s, 12.6 s, and 13.0 s, respectively. If the total distance travelled by the vehicles is 200 meters, i. If the density of traffic is 20 vpk, compute the rate of flow of traffic in vph. ii. If the speed limit imposed along the roadway is 100 kph, determine the percentage of speed limit violators.
- A signalized intersection has a cycle length of 70 seconds. For one traffic movement, the displayed all-red time is set to two seconds while the displayed yellow time is five seconds. The effective red time is 37 seconds and the total lost time per cycle for the movement is four seconds. What is the displayed green time for the traffic movement in seconds (whole number).Six vehicles were observed passing a point for every 25 sec. the density of traffic is 30 veh/km. Find the space mean speed.Q3- A minor road carrying 100 veh/h on each approach for 8 hours of an average day crosses a major road carrying 260 veh/h on each approach for the same 8 hours, forming a cross intersection. The 85th-percentile approach speed of major roads is 35 kph. In addition, the multiway stop is considered as an interim solution. Determine whether a multiway stop sign is justified at this location if the following conditions exist: 1. The pedestrian volume from the minor street for the same 8 hours traffic volume is 110 ped/h. 2. The average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic during the maximum hours is 40 sec/veh. 3. There is an average of 18 crashes for the last 3-years that may be corrected by installing a multiway stop control.
