road construction The 20-year projection of annual average daily traffic of a two-way roadway is 36.500 vehicles. Theroad serves as a highway between a residential area and a business area and the expected directionaldistribution factor is D=0.6. The 30th peak hour factor for the roadway is K=0.15. During an hourly vehiclecount, the following values were registered: 1st 15 minutes: 200 cars, 2nd 15 minutes: 130 cars, 3rd 15minute 230 cars, 4th 15 minutes. 180 cars. Estimate the peak hour factor . What is the designdirectional hourly volume for this route?
A one-way road is found to have a capacity of 2000 veh/hr. If a traffic enforcer says thatt thetraffic volume there is only 150 veh/hr, can you conclude that the traffic condition is not congested? Why or why not? Illustrate using a diagram.
Vehicles arrive according to a Poisson process (random arrival) to a parking lotwith mean arrival rate of 3 vehicles/min, and are processed (they pay parking fee) at a Poisson process(random Departure) rate of 240 vehicles/hour.(1) What type of queuing is this problem?D/D/1 M/D/1 M/M/1(2) What is the traffic intensity?(3) Determine (I) the average waiting time and (II) the average length of the que
The average queue length at the intersection of the two roads with a stop signs is 4 vehicles. If the arrival rate of vehicles at the stop sign is 300 vehicles per hour, determine the service rate of the road in vehicles per hour. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.
A rail transit system has prescribed the following factors:1. Peak hour demand = 30000 passengers/hr2. Minimum required speed = 55 ft/sec3. Deceleration = 3 ft/sec24. Safety factor = 1.455. Vehicle length = 80 ft6. Allowable vehicle capacity = 150 pass/veh7. Guideway utilization factor = 0.838. Minimum headway = 110 secHow many cars should the train consist of to provide adequate passenger capacity?
The median speed of vehicles on a highway segment during rush hour is 40 mph with Cv of 0.2. Assuming lognormal distribution, find the fraction of time the speed will fall below 10 mph? What about greater than 50 mph?
hree routes connect an origin and a destination with performance functions: ?1=8+0.5?1; ?2=1+2?2; and ?3=3+0.75?3; with the x’s being the traffic volume expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and t’s being the travel time expressed in minutes. If the peak hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user equilibrium traffic flows. [Hint: Note that one of the paths will not be used under the equilibrium condition
A certain single lane/on-ramp highway was estimated to have a utilization ratio of 0.893. The rate of arrival of vehicles follows a negative exponential distribution with an average of 296 vehicles per hour. If the service rate is also known to be stochastic, a.Compute the service rate in vehicles/hr. b.Compute the average waiting time at the stop sign per vehicle in seconds. c.Compute the average time spent in the system in seconds.
Subject : Transportation Engineering Give me right solution according to the question.. Please urgent please Free flow speed of a roadway section is 100 km/h and the capacity of the same section is 3000 veh/h. At a specific point along this roadway section, 2400 vehicles were observed in a predetermined hour. What can be the space-mean speed of these 2400 vehicles if a linear speed-density relationship is considered?
