Julia Vargas avenue in Ortigas, Pasig is classified by the DOTR as a Class I two-lane highway on level terrain with passing permitted throughout. The highway has 3.3m lanes with 1.2m shoulders. There are 9.6 access points per km. The base FFS is 96.50 kph . During the peak hour, 480 vehicles are traveling in the analysis direction and 320 vehicles are traveling in the opposing direction. If the PHF is 0.85 and there are 4% large trucks, 3% buses, and 2% recreational vehicles, what is the level of service of Julia Vargas avenue??

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 practical stopping distance (m) for a road with speed limit of 50kph and grade of 4.9%.
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.
Subject : Transportation Engineering Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question. A two lane-two way highway 7.5 m wide with a right-turn curve. The design speed is 100 kph and the difference in elevation between the edges of the fully super-elevated cross-section is 0.45 cm. Determine the setback of a building corner required for satisfying safe stopping sight distance.
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
A new section of Richmond Highway is being designed as a six-lane facility (three in each direction) with a two-way left-turn lane. Determine the peak-hour LOS. (Assume commuter traffic, 5% trucks, and no RVs.) Traffic data: demand volume = 3,120 veh/h PHF = 0.95 assumed base free-flow speed = 55 mi/h Geometric data: urban setting rolling terrain lane width = 11 ft shoulder widths = 4 ft (right side) and 1 ft (left side) average access point spacing = 12 points per mile on each side LOS A LOS B LOS C LOS D LOS E LOS F
A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) has regular weekday users and currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. 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?
