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?
- Find the upgrade and downgrade service flow rates and service volumes for an eight lane freeway with the following characteristics: (11 ft lanes, 2 ft right-side clearance, 4.2 ramps/mile, 3% trucks, good weather, regular drivers, PHF of 0.92) The segment in question is on a sustained grade of 3.5%, 1.5 miles in length.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 long segment of suburban freeway is to be designed on level terrain. The level segment, however, is followed by a 4.5% grade, 2.0 miles in length. If the DDHV is 2,500 vehicles per hour with 15% trucks (standard mix), how many lanes will be needed on the (A.) Upgrade, (B.) Downgrade, (C.) Level terrain segment to provide for level of service C? Lane widths and lateral clearances may be assumed to be 12 feet and 6 feet, respectively. Ramp density is expected to be 1.0 ramps per mile. The PHF is 0.92. Good weather, no incidents, no work zones, and regular users of the facility may be assumed.
- 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 4-lane rural basic freeway segment is with hourly flow rate = 1528 pcphpl. The interchange density is 0.8/km, average lane width is 3.7m, sufficient lateral clearance. Using the HCM 2000 procedure, the estimated FFS speed (kph) and the current segment LOS are …………. and …………….. respectively. a. 108 & LOS D b. 107 & LOS E c. 114 & LOS C d. 104 & LOS B e. noneA 5% upgrade on a six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) is 1.25 mi long. On this segment of freeway, the directional peak-hour volume is 3800 vehicles with 2% large trucks and 4% buses (no recreational vehicles), the peak- hour factor is 0.90, and all drivers are regular users. The lanes are 12 ft wide, there are no lateral obstructions within 10 ft of the roadway, and the total ramp density is 1.0 ramps per mile. A bus strike will eliminate all bus traffic, but it is estimated that for each bus removed from the roadway, seven additional passenger cars will be added as travelers seek other means of travel. a.) What is density, before the bus strike? b.) What is the volume-to-capacity ratio, before the bus strike? c.) What is the level of service of the upgrade segment before the bus strike? d.) What is density, after the bus strike? e.) What is the volume-to-capacity ratio, after the bus strike? f.) What is the level of service of the upgrade segment after the bus strike?
- 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 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 960 m segment of 5.2 km four-lane undivided multilane highway in a suburban area is at a 1.5% grade. The highway is in level terrain and lane widths are 3.35 m. The measured free flow speed is 73 km/hr. The peak hour volume is 1900 veh/hr, PHF is 0.9 and there are 13% truck and 2% RVs. Determine the LOS, speed, and density for upgrade and downgrade.
