A volume of 320 veh/h. Assume that the vehicle arrivals are Poisson distributed. What is the probability that the headway between successive vehicles will be less than 10 seconds. choices: 62.70%, 58.90%, 56.30%, 60.00%
A rail transit system has prescribed the following factors:1. Peak hour demand = 30000 passengers/hr2. Minimum required speed = 55 ft/sec3. Deceleration = 3 ft/sec24. Safety factor = 1.455. Vehicle length = 80 ft6. Allowable vehicle capacity = 150 pass/veh7. Guideway utilization factor = 0.838. Minimum headway = 110 secHow many cars should the train consist of to provide adequate passenger capacity?
You are designing a freeway as a passenger-car-only facility, and with ideal roadway characteristics. It is estimated that the freeway will have a traffic demand of 75,000 vehicles per day, a peak-hour factor of 0.88, and a directional distribution of 0.65. day. It is estimated that the freeway will have a free flow speed of 70mi/h. Determine the number of lanes (both directions) required to provide at least LOS D using the 60th highest annual hourly volume. Use k =0.11.
B- A traffic count was conducted to a rural highway if the peak 15 mints 800 vehicles and peak hourly factor (PHF) 0.95 the directional distribution (35:65)% and traffic composition is 75%p.c and 25%truck, 1-Estimate the number of lanes required ? (capacity = 2000 PC/hr/1 lane) 2- Estimate Level of service if the free flow speed 110 km/hr.
TRANSPORTATION ENGINNERING-TRAFFIC SIGNALS An approach to a predetermined signal has 25 seconds of effective green for a 60 second cycle. The approach volume is 500 vehicles/hour and the saturation flow rate is 1400 vehicles/hour. Calculate the average vehicle delay using D/D/1 queing.
2. In a 500 m section of highway, there are 10 vehicles observed. The timeheadway is 4 sec. Determine the space mean speed of the vehicles in kph. (5pts)
The peak hour factor for a traffic during rush hour is equalto 0.60 with a highest 5-min volume of 250 vehicles. The space meanspeed of the traffics is 90 kph, Compute the spacing of vehiclesin meters
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. *
Calculate the annual monetary benefit ($ from travel time/delay savings) for an intersection improvement project that reduces average delay by 3.7 sec/veh given the following information:· Average hourly wage in the city is $24.80· Assume 60% of salary for value of travel time savings· Assume 1.65 persons per vehicle· Average Daily Traffic for this intersection is 21,500 vehicles per day
Compute the peak hour factor if the hourly volume of traffic is 1800 vehicles/hour and the highest 20-min. volume is 800.
Traffic volume count has been collected on a 2- lane road section which needs upgradation due to severe traffic flow condition. Maximum service flow rate per lane is observed as 1280 veh/h at level of service 'C'. The Peak Hour Factor is reported as 0.78125. Historical traffic volume count provides Annual Average Daily Traffic as 12270 veh/day. Directional split of the traffic flow is observed to be 60: 40. Assuming that traffic stream consists of 'All Cars' and all drivers are 'Regular Commuters', the number of extra lane(s) (round off to the next higher integer) to be provided, is
Vehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational park. There is a single gate (at which all vehicles must stop), where a park attendant distributes free brochures. The park opens at 8:00 AM. At which vehicles begin to arrive at a rate of 480 veh/h. After 20 minutes, the arrival flow rate declines to 120 veh/h and corrtinues at that level for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 15 seconds, and assuming D/D/1 queuing (a) draw the queuing diagram (b) describe the operational characteristics of the queue (maximum queue length, maximum queuing time, average queuing time per vehicle etc.)
