Site Plan Requirements

A site plan (also known as a plot plan) is a diagram or process to show the proposed improvements on an existing property. A site plan is important, as it provides information regarding the landscape features of a given plot of land. Zoning is done or can be understood with the help of a site plan.

Studies have shown that the traffic flow on a single-lane approach to a signalized intersection can be described by the Greenshields model. If the jam density on the approach is 130 veh/mi, determine the velocity of the stopping wave when the approach signal changes to red if the density on the approach is 45 veh/mi and the space mean speed is 40 mi/h. At the end of the red interval, what length of the approach upstream from the stop line will vehicles be affected if the red interval is 35 sec?

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

A portion of the extension of SLEX has a free flow speed of 60kph and a capacity of 3600 veh/hr. If in a given hour, 3344 vehicles were countered at a specified point along this highway, determine the traffic density of these 3344 vehicles.
The lane of a 2-lane one way carriageway is closed for repairs. The maximum mean free speed under conditions of low flow in the 2-lane portion is 65km/hr. Under conditions of low flow, observations show that the maximum mean free speed in the bottleneck is also 65km/hr. The average space headway when vehicles are stationary is 12.5m. The volume of traffic on the 2-lane road is 1800 veh/hr. Assuming that the speed-concentration relation is linear, find The mean speed of traffic through the bottleneck caused by the closure of one lane; The mean speed of traffic in the congested conditions immediately on the approach to the bottleneck The mean speed of traffic on the carriageway clear of the influence of the bottleneck The rate at which the queue of the congested traffic enter
