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...
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 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...
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...
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 pavement. There are 4 ramps within 6 miles. A directional peak-hour volume of 4500 veh/h is observed, with 1250 vehicles arriving in the highest 15-min flow rate period. The traffic stream contains 15% heavy vehicles. What is the density and the corresponding level of service (LOS) of the traffic stream? Do not use on the chart...
Q2. Determine the LOS on a regular weekday on a 0.65-km section of a six-lane freeway (three-lane each) with a grade of 2 percent, using the following data: Hourly volume: V = 3000 veh/hr PHF = 0.85 Traffic Composition: Trucks = 10 percent R.Vs = 2 percent Lane width = 3.5 m Terrain = Level Base free-flow speed = 110 km/hr Shoulder width = 2 m Interchange spacing = 1 km Driver population adjustment factor fp = 0.95
1 A segment of a freeway has the following prevailing conditions. Given: Two-way AADT 4000 veh/h; four lane rural freeway with two lanes in each direction; directional demand volume distribution of 40/60; PHF 0.94; 15% trucks and buses, 2% RVs; roling terrain; driver population with familiar drivers; lateral clearance- 5 ft Determine: (a) Level of service (LOS) of the segment. Follow step-by-step calculation. (b) Volume-to-capacity ratio of the segment for the current LOS.
5. There is a freeway segment and its characteristics are given as below: •A six-lane urban freeway (3 lanes each direction) •11-ft lanes •3-ft right-shoulder lateral clearance •3% grade •1.2 mile in length •8% of trucks and buses •4% recreational vehicles •Driver population factor (fp): 0.95 •Peak-hour volume in peak direction: 2,500 vehicles •PHF: 0.925 •Interchange density: 1.5 per mile Evaluate the freeway segment by Level-of-Service (LOS) according to the Highway Capacity Manual (Referring to Tables 6-3 ~ 6-10 in...
The following applies to a four-lane freeway. Determine LOS. - Volume is 2,400 vph (one direction) - Peak Hour Factor: 0.9 - BFFS = 60 mph - 5% truck traffic - 12-ft lanes - 10-ft outside shoulders - One interchange every 2 miles - Level Terrain - No recreational vehicles - Commuter traffic
