Team Management

To complete a specific task or to accomplish organizational goals along with increasing work productivity, individuals need to come together and think along a common path and direction. There are certain tasks in an organization that cannot be done alone and the involvement of more individuals is essential. These groups of individuals who work together for a common goal compose a team and the individual members involved are known as team members.

A segment of rural freeway is being designed for a FFS of 65 mph using 11 ft lanes in a mountainous area. The lateral clearance is nominal (1 ft). The directional (i.e. one-way) design flow rate is expected to be 2,400 passenger cars per hour. How many lanes in one direction will be needed to provide at least a LOS B?
A four-lane undivided highway (two lanes in each direction) has (3.4m) lanes, with (1.2 m) shoulders on the right side. There are 4.5 access points per km, and the posted speed limit is 80 km/h. What is the estimated free-flow speed?
A section of four lane (two lanes in each direction) freeway in mountainous terrain, which is 2.5 mi long, is to be improved to carry on a regular weekday a heavy volume of 3000 veh/h, consisting of 80% passenger cars, 15% trucks, 3% buses, and 2% recreational vehicles. The PHF is 0.90. Determine the additional number of 12-ft lanes required in each direction if the road is to operate at LOS B. The base FFS is 65mph, there is a lateral obstruction 4ft from the pavement on the right side of the road, and interchange spacing is 2 mi. Driver population adjustment factor fp= 1.0.
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 multi-lane Minor Arterial is being designed through a level urban area. The current daily volume = 8000 vpd in both directions with 10% Trucks, peak hourly factor 90%and a 60% directional distribution factor. How many lanes are required?
One segment of a Class I two-lane highway is on rolling terrain and has an hourly volume of 950 veh/h (total for both directions), a directional traffic split of 70/30, and PHF = 0.85, and the traffic stream contains 6% large trucks, 3% buses, and 6% recreational vehicles.
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:
COURSE: Transportation Engineering QUESTION Consider divided multilane highway in V.A. Rufino near Ayala (fp = 0.90) that has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and is on rolling terrain. The highway has 3.3m lanes with a 1.5m right-side shoulder and a 1.5m left-side shoulder. The posted speed is 80.5 kph. Formerly there were 2.4 access points per km, but recent development by Makati City Central Business District has increased the number of access points to 7.2 per km. Before development, the peak-hour factor was 0.95 and the directional hourly volume was 2200 vehicles with 10% large trucks and buses and 3% recreational vehicles. After development, the peak-hour directional flow is 2600 vehicles with the same vehicle percentages and peak-hour factor. What is the level of service before and after the development of V.A. Rufino?
Determine the total stopping distance (m) for a road with speed limit of 53kph and grade of 4.4%.
A 2-lane highway has lane widths of 2.75m, with 1.83m clear hard shoulders. There are no-passing zones along 40% of its length. The directional split is 60/40 in favour of the peak direction. The percentages of the various heavy vehicles types are: Trucks PT – 10%, Buses PB – 4%, Cars Pc – 2%. The terrain is rolling; calculate the service flow of the highway when running at full capacity
The C-5 Southlane Freeway/Expressway having 6 lanes (three lanes in each direction) is 3.6m wide per lane and has an edge distance of 2 m to the nearest obstruction. A total of 26 on-or off-ramps within the 40 km span, from which 3 ramps are located within 5 km upstream and 4 ramps within 5 km downstream from the midpoint of the analysis segment can be observed. Determine the free-flow speed of the existing freeway, in kph. Do not round-off your FFS
