Develop a detailed analytical framework using life-cycle cost analysis of a freeway system operation improvement project, such as a project for varying freeway speed limits in the range of 45- 70 mph for different locations and time periods of a typical working day.
Discuss the cost structure of rail transport
Two routes connect an origin-destination pair with performance functions t₁ = 5 + (x₁/2)² and t₂ = 7+ (x2/4)² (with t's in minutes and x's in thousands of vehicles per hour). It is known that at user equilibrium, 75% of the origin-destination demand takes route 1. What percentage would take route 1 if a system-optimal solution were achieved, and how much travel time would be saved?
