Problem 2: 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.

During peak periods, “Trotro” drivers use the shoulders as travel lanes on the section of the Kasoa road approaching the toll booth from the West Hills Mall direction. As a Highway Engineer, what design intervention would you propose to prevent the shoulders from being used as travel lanes during congested period or as part-time shoulders but still function as shoulders?

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 1 km road is to be constructed in existing ground level having reduced levels 54.1, 53.8, 53.5, 53.5, 54.3, 54.6, 54.9, 54.5, 54.7 and 54.3 meters at 100 m intervals as shown in Figure 1. A required reduced level at station 1 is 55 meter and the downward gradient is 1 in 1000. The width of the road at formation level is 8 meter. To allow for drainage the road will have a slope of about 1:50 from the centre to the edge of the concrete drainage. a. Calculate the volume of Earthwork. [17 marks] b. Determine the number of trucks needed to transport the net cut/fill material if the swell of material is 20%. [3
The deign speed of curve portion of the Manila – Cavite circumferential road is only 80 kph. The radius of the curve portion is 350 m. Allowing a skid resistance or friction factor of 0.12, what must be the superelevation rate in m/m to avoid overturning?
Determine the length of tangent runout and lenght of runoff for a two-lane highway if the pavement is revolved about the centreline in order to achieve fully superelevated cross section. Maximum allowable longitudinal gradient is 1/200 Superelevation = 8% Total carriageway width = 7m (3.5 per direction) Normal crown =1.5%
Design a highway with the following criteria (Determine the minimum radius, widening and check if it needs transition spiral) Design speed = 85 kph I = 20o e = 0.06 sight distance = 125m m = 10 m 2 lane road Typical car wheel length 2.5 m Width of pavement per lane = 3.6 m PreviousNext
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
Two passenger cars are traveling at 88.5 kph. The weight of car A is 9000 N and that of car B is 18000 N. The cross-sectional area for car A is 3.15 m2 and that for car B is 3.6 m2. Both cars travel on a straight and level section of road. Determine the grade resistance for car B in Newton.
A new transportation engineer is charged with the design of a horizontal curve for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM). His final design calls for a curve with a radius of 500 m. Assume the maximum design speed and maximum super elevation rate in this calculation
Civil Analysis of highway section A portion of a four-lane multilane highway with a full median carries 2,600 vehicles per hour during peak hours in the busiest direction. In the traffic flow, there are 2% RVs and 14% trucks. The facility's regular users are mainly motorists. The segment under study is a mile-long, 3% sustained gradient. PHF equals 0.88. Field research has been done to establish that the facility's free-flow speed is 55.0 miles per hour. What degree of service will be provided during peak hours at this facility?
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
