- Determine the practical stopping distance (m) for a road with speed limit of 50kph and grade of 4.9%.An undivided multilane highway segment has the following characteristics: • Six lanes (three lanes in each direction); Lane width of 11 ft; • Speed limit of 45 mph; Right shoulders is 4 ft wide; • There are approximately 25 access points over a 2-mile section of this roadway, in each direction. Calculate the FFS at this highway section and then determine the level of service (LOS) when the flow rate is 1100 pc/h/In. (Write the answer for the LOS in the box below).Determine the total stopping distance (m) for a road with speed limit of 53kph and grade of 4.4%.
- Draw a space – time diagram for traffic within a tunnel. Assuming there exist a 2-lane before the tunnel but the tunnel itself is 1-lane and after the tunnel the road returns to being a 2-lane.55 mph roadway with two northbound through lanes (both are 11 feet in width) through an intersection. Beyond the intersection, the lanes merge into one lane. Please calculate the merge taper AND the distance the sign must be place AHEAD or upstream of the beginning of the merge. Pls hand written solutionA developer has applied for a construction permit to build a supermarket at the southeast cornerof an intersection that is formed by a four-lane divided highway in the east-west direction and atwo-lane road in the north-south direction. Traffic on the two-lane road is controlled by a stop signat the intersection. The speed limit on the four-lane highway is 88 km/h. using the sight trianglerequirements at the intersection (Case B1), determine whether permission should be given for theconstruction if the following conditions exist. Provide a diagram for your solution.Major road lane width = 3.6 mMinor road lane width = 3.3 mMedian lane = 2.8 mDesign vehicle is a passenger carApproach grade = 2%Maximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of four-lane road = 5.4 mMaximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of two-lane road = 16.5 m
- 2. The existing posted speed limit on a section of highway is 55 mi/h and studies have shown that the current 85th percentile speed is 65 mi/h. If the poster speed limit is to be increased to the current 85th percentile speed, what should he the increase in the radius of a curve that is just adequate for the existing posted speed limit? Assume superelevation rate of 0.08 for the existing curve and for the redesigned curve.?For the Greenshields model, the mean free flow speed on a highway facility lane equals 75 mph near zero density, and the jam density is observed to be about 160 veh/mi. Plot the q-k-u curves in proper order. Write down the speed-density, flow-speed, and flow-density equations. Find out the maximum flow, and also mark it on your diagrams. Compute speeds and densities corresponding to a flow of 2,880 veh/h, describing traffic conditions from a driver’s point of view. Calculate average headways, gaps, clearance, and spacing at CASE 1: maximum flow and at CASE 2: jam density. (Suppose the average vehicle length is 17ft)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…
- 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?A particular roadway segment has a 6000-ft section of 3% upgrade, followed by a 5000-ft section of 5% upgrade. The traffic on the road includes 8% trucks and 4% recreational vehicles. Determine the PCEs.True or False: Directional and lane distribution factors need to be considered to obtain initial traffic on the design lane.
