6.28 A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right edge of the traveled pavement. There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. A directional peak-hour volume of 2000 vehicles (primarily commuters) is observed, with 600 vehicles arriving in the highest 15-min flow rate period. The traffic stream contains 12% large trucks and...
Multiple Choice Problems (Multiple Sections) 6.38 A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right edge of the traveled pavement. There are 5 ramps within 3 mile:s upstream of the segment midpoint and 4 ramp:s within 3 miles downstream of the segment midpoint. A directional peak-hour volume of 2000 vehicles is observed, with 600 vehicles arriving in the highest 15-min flow rate period. The traffic stream contains 18%...
An eight-lane freeway (four lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain and has 11-ft lanes with a 4-ft right-side shoulder. The total ramp density is 1.5 ramps per mile. The directional peak-hour traffic volume is 5400 vehicles with 400 large trucks and 6% buses. The peak- hour factor is 0.92. It has been decided that large trucks will be banned from the freeway during the peak hour. How much will the ban reduce expected traffic density and the level...
A four-lane freeway is located on rolling rural terrain and has two 12-ft lanes in each direction and no lateral obstructions within 8 ft of the right-hand lane. The traffic stream consists of cars and trucks only (no RVs). A peak-hour volume of 3600 vehicles is observed, with 1000 arriving in the most congested 15-minute period. TRD-0.24 ramps/mi. If any data are missing, adopt default values from Table 3.3 a. What is the PHF? b. What is the density of...
1) Find the LOS for a 6-lane Freeway with the following data: a. 6-lanes (3 lanes in each direction) b. Lane widths 10 ft c. Right-side lateral clearance 4 ft d. Commuter traffic e. Peak hour, peak-directional demand volume 6500 veh/hr f. PHF 0.95 g. Traffic composition: 10% trucks, 3% RV's h. Ramp density of 2 ramps/mile i. Rolling terrain 1) Find the LOS for a 6-lane Freeway with the following data: a. 6-lanes (3 lanes in each direction) b....
A six-lane divided highway (three lane in each direction) is on rolling terrain with two access points per mile and has 10-ft. lanes, with a 5-ft. shoulder on the right side and a 3-ft. shoulder on the left side. The peak-hour factor is 0.80, and the directional peak-hour volume is 3000 vehicles per hour. There are 6% large trucks, 2% buses, and 2% recreational vehicles. A significant percentage of nonfamiliar roadway users are in the traffic stream (the driver population...
transportation design problem 1. A six-lane urban freeway is on level terrain with 12-ft lanes, obstructions 3-ft from the right edge of the traveled pavement, and nine ramps within three miles upstream and three miles downstream of the midpoint of the analysis segment. The traffic stream consists primarily of commuters. A directional weekday peak-hour volume of 2800 vehicles is observed with 900 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 11% large trucks and buses...
Problem 1. 6-lane freeway on a rolling terrain, 12-ft lanes, 6-ft lateral clearance, 2 ramps within 3 miles upstream and 2 ramps within 3 miles downstream, Peak hour volume 2400 veh, 900 veh in the most congested 15-min Familiar drivers FIND: Maximum number of heavy vehicles for LOS C
A two-lane highway is currently operating with flow rate at 3000 pc/h in rolling terrain. The traffic stream consists of cars and trucks only. A recent traffic count revealed 600 vehicles (total, both directions) arriving in the most congested 15-min interval. What is the percentage of trucks in the traffic stream based on the ATS service measure?
Problem #2 A section of a six-lane highway (3 in each direction) with a two-way-left-turn lane (TWLTL) is being designed. Determine the level of service if the following data are applicable to this section. Traffic Data: • • • Directional design hour volume = 3600 veh/h (all are passenger cars) Peak-Hour-Factor (PHF) = 0.94 Base Free-Flow-Speed (FFS) = 55 mi/h Geometric data: • • • • • Urban setting Rolling terrain Lane width = 11 ft Shoulder width = 4...
