- Determine the practical stopping distance (m) for a road with speed limit of 50kph and grade of 4.9%.A long segment of suburban freeway is to be designed on level terrain. The level segment, however, is followed by a 4.5% grade, 2.0 miles in length. If the DDHV is 2,500 vehicles per hour with 15% trucks (standard mix), how many lanes will be needed on the (A.) Upgrade, (B.) Downgrade, (C.) Level terrain segment to provide for level of service C? Lane widths and lateral clearances may be assumed to be 12 feet and 6 feet, respectively. Ramp density is expected to be 1.0 ramps per mile. The PHF is 0.92. Good weather, no incidents, no work zones, and regular users of the facility may be assumed.A rural collector is to be constructed in an area of rolling terrain where the ADT is 650 veh/day. For this situation, determine the following design values. (a) Minimum design speed (b) Recommended lane width (c) Preferable shoulder width (d) Maximum grade
- Determine the value of PTSF for a 6-mile two-lane highway in rolling terrain. Traffic data are as follows: • Volume = 1600 veh/h (two-way) • Percent trucks = 14% • Percent RVs = 4% • Peak hour factor = 0.95 • Percent directional split = 50 - 50 • Percent no-passing zones = 50A rural collector highway located in a mountainous terrain is designed to carry a design volume of 800 veh/day. Determine the following: (a) a suitable design speed, (b) lane and usable shoulder widths, (c) maximum desirable grade. Repeat Problem 1 for an urban freeway in rolling terrain.A four-lane basic freeway segment on level terrain is being redesigned. The current roadway has 12 ft lanes with 4 ft shoulders. The proposed alignment would expand to six 11-ft lanes with 2 ft shoulders. The road carries 3000 vehicles in the peak hour in one direction, with 925 coming in the peak 15 minutes. The truck mix is 70/30 and makes up 10% of traffic. What is the density and LOS (level of service) before and after the proposed change?
- 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.An existing urban freeway in rolling terrain is to be analyzed to determine LOS using the following information: Number of lanes in each direction: 3 Peak hour volume: 3300 veh/h (in the peak direction, mainly commuter traffic) 8% trucks 2% recreational vehicles PHF=0.95 Lane width: 11 ft Lateral clearance: 4 ft Average interchange spacing: 1.0 mile Base FFS: 70 mphan urban freeway in rolling terrain is designed to carry a design volume of 800 veh/day. Determine the following: (a) a suitable design speed, (b) lane and usable shoulder widths, (c) maximum desirable grade.
- A four-lane freeway (two lanes on each direction) is located on mountainous terrain with 11-ft lanes, a 5-ft right-side shoulder, and a 3-ft left-side shoulder, and a 60- mph design speed. The freeway currently operates at capacity during the peak hour. If an additional 11-ft lane is added, and all other factors stay the same, what will the new level of service be?A new basic freeway segment will have 3 lanes in each direction. The left and center lane each has a width of 12 ft while the width of the right lane is 13 ft. The left shoulder is 4 ft while the right shoulder is also 4 ft. There are 2 interchanges within 6 miles (3 miles upstream and 3 miles down stream).The site has level terrain, the design speed is 80 mph the hourly design volume is 5250 veh/h, which includes 9.0% trucks and buses. The peak hour factor is 0.870. Calculate FHV, VP, FFS, LOS Show all workAn existing urban freeway with 4 lanes in each direction has the following characteristics. Traffic data: Peak hour volume (in the peak direction): 7,110 veh/h Trucks: 10% of peak hour volume PHF = 0.93 Geometric data: Lane width: 11 ft Shoulder width: 6 ft Total ramp density: 1.8 ramps per mile Terrain: rolling Determine the LOS in the peak hour.
