6.9 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 11% heavy vehicles. The peak-hour factor is 0.95. It has been decided that heavy vehicles will be banned from the freeway during the peak hour. What will the freeway's density and LOS be before and after the ban? (Assume that the heavy vehicles are removed and all other traffic attributes are unchanged.)

- A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) has regular weekday users and currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. b.) Determine the adjustment factor (f). (Express in three decimals)A freeway is being designed to carry a heavy volume of 5000 veh/h on a regular weekday in rolling terrain. If the PHF is 0.9 and the traffic consists of 90% passenger cars and 10% trucks, determine the number of 12-ft lanes required in each direction if the highway is to operate at level of service C. The free-flow speed is 70 mi/h, there is no lateral obstruction, and interchanges are 3 mi apart.A four-lane urban freeway segment has a peak demand volume of 3,500 vehicles per hour for the two eastbound lanes. The PHF is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses or RVs because the freeway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited. The segment has 12 ft lanes, no lateral obstructions, 3 ramps within the influence area, and meanders through some beautiful rolling terrain. Assuming the road will be used by commuters and those familiar with the road, what is the flow rate (pcphpl)? Provide your answer to the nearest integer.
- A six-lane divided highway (three lanes in each direction) is on level terrain with 6 access points per kilometer and has 3.6-m lanes, with a 1.2-m shoulder on the right side and a 0.6-m shoulder on the left side. The peak-hour factor is 0.80, and the directional peak-hour volume is 3,500 vehicles per hour. There are 5% large trucks and 3% recreational vehicles. A significant percentage of non-familiar roadway users are in the traffic stream (the driver population adjustment factor is estimated as 0.85). No speed studies are available, but the posted speed limit is 80.5 km/h. Determine the level of service.A four-lane rural freeway segment has a 510 m grade length of 2% upgrade followed by a 630 m grade length of 3%. The freeway has 3.4-m lane, 1.5m left-shoulder lateral clearances and interchanges spaced at every 25 km. During the peak hour, there are 6% trucks, 2% buses, 2% recreational vehicles and the rest are passenger cars. Driver population adjustment is determined to be 0.90, peak hour factor is 0.90 and the BFFS is 110 km/h. At present, the freeway operates at capacity during the peak hour in the direction in question. If an additional 3.4 m lane is introduced, and all other factors stay the same, what will be the new level of service?A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) has regular weekday users and currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. a.) Determine the Free Flow Speed

The lanes are 3.5m wide, the right-side shoulder is 1.2 m wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. a) Determine the hourly volume for these conditions. b) At one point along this freeway, there is a 4% upgrade with a directional hourly traffic volume of 5000 vehicles. How long can this grade be without the freeway LOS dropping to F?A six-lane urban freeway (three lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain with 11-ft lanes, obstructions 2 ft from the right edge of the traveled pavement, and nine ramps within three miles upstream and three miles downstream of the midpoint of the analysis segment. The traffic stream consists primarily of commuters. A directional weekday peak-hour volume of 2300 vehicles is observed, with 700 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 15% large trucks and buses and no recreational vehicles and at some point, further along the roadway there is a 6% upgrade that is 1.5 mi long. (assuming that the proportion of vehicle types and the peak-hour factor remain constant) Determine the FFS value in mi/hDetermine the PHF or Peak Hour FactorDetermine the fHVDetermine the value of vptraffic engineering - Q / A freeway is being designed to carry a heavy volume of 5000 veh / h on a regular weekday in rolling terrain . If the PHF is 0.9 and the traffic consists of 90 % passenger cars and 10 % trucks , determine the number of 12 - ft lanes required in each direction if the highway is to operate at level of service C. The free - flow speed is 70 mi / h , there is no lateral obstruction , and interchanges are 3 mi apart .
- 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 four-lane freeway with 12 ft lanes and 5 shoulders is on a 2% grade for the 1.25-mi analysis stretch. There are 2 ramps in this section. If the traffic mix is generally 6% heavy vehicles with a 70/30 SUT/TT split and a PHF of 0.8, how many vehicles can the freeway carry in the peak hour without dropping below Level of Surface (LOS) C?A divided hwy is to be built in a suburban level terrain, forecasted AADT = 12,000 vehicle/day, with 5% trucks, the fraction of traffic in the peak direction of flow is 0.7, PHF = 0.85, desired LOS is "C", assume K factor = 0.12, the number of lanes that will be needed in each direction is:
