The traffic on a two-way two-lane highway is assumed to follow Greenberg model. The average headway at Capacity is 1.9 seconds while the average spacing at jam conditions is 9 meters. At 9:00 AM on a typical weekday, two platoons were travelling on the highway in the eastbound direction. The length of the first platoon is 3 km and the average vehicle speed in this platoon is 62 km/h. The second platoon is a long platoon that starts directly to...

I. A highway transportation agency is conducting a traffic count on an existing highway for the purpose of determine the directional design volume. An automatic traffic counter using a weigh-in-motion (WIM) equipment gave a total continuous one-year count of 4,372,096 axles. Manual classification studies at the count station indicated the following: Passenger cars = 3-axle trucks 4-axle trucks 5-axle trucks = 69% 21% 6% 4% (a) Calculate the existing average annual daily traffic (AADT) in vehicles per day....

"Time headway" in traffic flow is the elapsed time between the time that one car finishes passing a fixed point and the instant that the next car begins to pass that point. Let X = the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars on a freeway during a period of heavy flow (sec). Suppose that in a particular traffic environment, the distribution of time headway has the following form. k. X > 1 f(x) = 6 10 X51 (a)...

2. A class 1, 30mile long rural two-lane highway segment is in rolling terrain. Peak demand is 900 vph (total for both directions), with a 70:30 directional split, and consists of 20% trucks (no rv's or busses). The PHF is 0.80. There are 80% no passing zones, and the base free-flow speed is 55 mi/h. Lane and shoulder widths width are 11 and 2 ft, respectively. There are 6 access points per mile. a) Estimate the average travel speed in...
