Several types of vehicles are passing through a highway, as follows :(24% are passenger cars), (3% are heavy vehicles), (17% are busses > 24 passenger), (12% are trucks), (22% are busses < 24 passenger), (5% are light good vehicles), (10% are motorcycles) and (7% are bicycles). If the total number of vehicles is 12000, calculate the equivalent passenger car units (PCU) :- * O PCU = 15612 O PCU = 12561 O PCU = 16251 O PCU = 16521 O PCU = 15261

The recorded number of vehicles on a 1.2 km stretch of highway is 39. Calculate the density of traffic in veh/km at the portion of the highway.
For this exercise, you are to design a roadway that is to carry 100,000 people a day (excluding truck occupants) – 50,000 in design direction. The vehicles that carry these people include; (1) personal vehicles (average occupancy of 1.2 people per car) 2-2 kip single axles, and (2) buses with 2-22 kip single axles (assume they are filled with an average of 40 passengers). There are also trucks on the roadway and all trucks have 1-40 kip triple axle, 1-32 kip tandem axle, and 1-8 kip single axle. You know that the soil CBR is 6, the initial PSI is 4.5 and the TSI is 2.5. Other values to be used:  All drainage coefficients = 1.0  Reliability = 90%  Overall standard deviation of traffic = 0.50  Concrete Modulus of Elasticity = 5.5 million lb/in2  Concrete Modulus of Rupture = 750 lb/in2  PCC load transfer coefficient = 3.0 Design a rigid and flexible pavement, to last 15 years, for a four-lane road (four lanes in design direction) with 400 trucks per day in the design direction, and…
hree routes connect an origin and a destination with performance functions: ?1=8+0.5?1; ?2=1+2?2; and ?3=3+0.75?3; with the x’s being the traffic volume expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and t’s being the travel time expressed in minutes. If the peak hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user equilibrium traffic flows. [Hint: Note that one of the paths will not be used under the equilibrium condition

The average queue length at the intersection of the two roads with a stop signs is 4 vehicles. If the arrival rate of vehicles at the stop sign is 300 vehicles per hour, determine the service rate of the road in vehicles per hour. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.
road construction The 20-year projection of annual average daily traffic of a two-way roadway is 36.500 vehicles. Theroad serves as a highway between a residential area and a business area and the expected directionaldistribution factor is D=0.6. The 30th peak hour factor for the roadway is K=0.15. During an hourly vehiclecount, the following values were registered: 1st 15 minutes: 200 cars, 2nd 15 minutes: 130 cars, 3rd 15minute 230 cars, 4th 15 minutes. 180 cars. Estimate the peak hour factor . What is the designdirectional hourly volume for this route?
On a specific westbound section of highway, studies show that the speed-density relationship is: It is known that the capacity is 5200 veh/h and the jam density is 310 veh/mi. What is the a.) space-mean speed of the traffic at capacity, (mph) b.) and what is the free-flow speed? (mph)
A certain single lane/on-ramp highway was estimated to have a utilization ratio of 0.893. The rate of arrival of vehicles follows a negative exponential distribution with an average of 296 vehicles per hour. If the service rate is also known to be stochastic, a.Compute the service rate in vehicles/hr. b.Compute the average waiting time at the stop sign per vehicle in seconds. c.Compute the average time spent in the system in seconds.
The traffic intensity of a certain freeway is 0.833. The arrival rate of vehicles at a certain intersection (stop sign) is 200 vehicles per hour. Compute the service rate in vehicles/hr. *
