5. The table below gives data on accepted and rejected gaps of vehicles on the minor road of an unsignalized intersection. If the arrival of major road vehicles can be described by the Poisson distribution, and the peak hour volume is 1100 veh/h, determine the expected number of accepted gaps that will be available for minor road vehicles during the peak hour.

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
The table below shows the hourly volumes obtained from a short-term traffic count station and their corresponding hourly expansion factors (HEFs). DEFs for Friday and Saturday are 8.5, and 8.7 respectively; and MEF is 1.655. Compute the AADT a. 26447 b. none c. 28450 d. 15501 e. 33121
A rural primary road segment of 2 miles long has an average annual daily traffic(AADT) of 11,350. The number of crashes that have occurred over the past 5 yearsare 5 fatal, 55 injury crashes and 100 property damage only crashes. Statewide averagecrashes for this type of road are 2 fatal, 130 injury, and 300 property damage onlycrashes per 100 MVMT. The weighting factors for fatal, injury and property crashesare 8, 3, 1, respectively. Using the critical crash ratio methodology, determine whetherthis site can be labeled a hazardous site. Use a 95 percent confidence limit.
7. The following are the tabulation of the coverage count of the average daily traffic on a monthly and weekly basis made with automatic traffic counts on a highway. Use the tables to calculate;(a) the ADT for February and October based on 2 days counts: (i) on Tuesday in February the daily counts were 250 vehicles and (ii) on Friday in October, the daily traffic volume was 300 vehicles. (b) the AADT if the flows counted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in July were 8000, 6000 and 5000 vehicles on a 16 hourly count basis.(c) the seven day 16 hourly flow in September.
A new freeway is to be designed through a rural area having level terrain. The number of lanes proposed are 2 in each direction. The facility will facilitate 10 percent trucks and buses and 5 percent RVs. If the objective is to provide a LoS C, hwo much traffic volume the facility will facilite in the peak hour. Assume all missing data if necessary.
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 toll bridge carries 10,000 veh/day. The current toll is ₱150/vehicle. Studies shown that for eachincrease in toll of ₱25, the traffic volume will decrease by 1000 veh/day. It is desired to increasethe toll to a point where revenue will be maximized.a. Write the expression for travel demand on the bridge related to toll increase and currentvolume. b. Determine the toll charge to maximize revenues. c. Determine traffic in veh/day after toll increase. d. Determine the total revenue increase with new toll.
A multiple regression analysis shows the following relationship for the number of trips per household. T = 0.82 + 1.3P + 2.1A Where T = number of trips per household per day P= number of persons per household A= number of autos per household If a particular TAZ contains 250 households with an average of 4 persons and 2 autos for each household, determine the average number of trips per day in that zone

a/ There was a need to know the volumes traffic for a rural project where 24 hrs. flows were counted on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in December as follow, Thursday = 8000, Friday = 8000 and Saturday = 10000. Q2 /b/ Design data is required for improvement of two – lane of two – way highway with central reserve. The current traffic in 2016 expressed by AADT is 3000 vehicles. The improved road with a design life of 20 years will opened to traffic in 2021, the estimated annual growth rate of traffic is 8%, K-factor is 12% of AADT and D (Directional distribution) is 55% of total traffic.
