Choose the right answer Three vehicles are recorded with speeds of 80, 70, and 200 mi/h. Find average time mean speed for these three vehicles to traverse a section of 1 mile. a-80 b-70 c-60
Considering linear relationship between density and speed, you are required to estimate the corresponding flow and speed values to densities of 20, 30, 40 60, and 70 veh/km. if the free flow speed is 110 km/hr and at the critical situation, is founded that are 110 vehicles on section of the road with length 2km, using the estimated values, draw a sketch showing the speed-flow-density relationships?
The following data was collected during a study of two arterial lanes. Estimate the continuous 15-minute counts for the two-lane roadway as a whole. Find the peak hour, and compute the PHF.
Intersections provide a means for safe and efficient change of direction for drivers. When properly designed, capacity of the route can be enhanced by managing traffic conflicts that arise. a) Describe the 2 main categories of intersections that can be installed at any location. Give 2 examples of each. b) What are major traffic conflicts? In the design of an intersection, discuss some of the ways that can be deployed to address major traffic conflicts that exist on a highway.

A traffic engineer urgently needs to determine the AADT on a rural primary road that has the volume distribution characteristics as discussed. She collected the data shown below on a Friday during the month of March. Determine the AADT of the road. 1:00 –2:00 p.m. = 600; 2:00 –3:00 p.m. = 645; 3:00 –4:00 p.m. = 730; 4:00 –5:00 p.m. = 780; 5:00 –6:00 p.m. = 815; 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. = 795
Compute the ADT and AADT for a rural road segment based on the following information: (i) One week data in veh/day obtained in March 2019: 12,500; 10,500; 15,200; 13,400; 16,000; 10,500; 10,000, (ii) One week data in veh/day obtained in October 2019: 10,300; 12,000; 13,000; 14,500; 15,200; 8,500; 10,200.
