Concept explainers

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

Assume that passenger car equivalents are 1.5 for trucks (ET), 1.6 for left-turns (EL), and 1.4 for right-turns (ER), and saturation flow qs= 160 x (curb-to-curb width / # of lanes) equivalent passenger-car units per hour per lane (pcu/hr/ln).

Given that the intergreen time is 8.0 seconds and lost time is 3.5 seconds per phase, design a 2-phase signal timing plan using the Webster’s method.
You are designing a freeway as a passenger-car-only facility, and with ideal roadway characteristics. It is estimated that the freeway will have a traffic demand of 75,000 vehicles per day, a peak-hour factor of 0.88, and a directional distribution of 0.65. day. It is estimated that the freeway will have a free flow speed of 70mi/h. Determine the number of lanes (both directions) required to provide at least LOS D using the 60th highest annual hourly volume. Use k =0.11.
