- Define the following terms and cite examples of how they are used: 1. Average daily traffic (ADT)arrow_forwardA 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. = 795arrow_forwardFind the crash frequency and crash rate of the following: Road Segment A: A three-mile section of road that has had four crashes over five years and has a traffic volume of 5,500 vehicles per day. Road Segment B: A three-mile section of road that has had 10 crashes over five years and has a traffic volume of 18,000 vehicles per day.arrow_forward
- Describe the following types of traffic volume counts and explain when they are used: 1. Cordon countsarrow_forwardList six transportation simulation models or software systems described in the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 or elsewhere and elaborate on five (5) of these models/software systems.arrow_forward7. The following are the tabulation of the coverage count of the average daily traffic on a monthly and weekly basis made with automatic traffic counts on a highway. Use the tables to calculate;(a) the ADT for February and October based on 2 days counts: (i) on Tuesday in February the daily counts were 250 vehicles and (ii) on Friday in October, the daily traffic volume was 300 vehicles. (b) the AADT if the flows counted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in July were 8000, 6000 and 5000 vehicles on a 16 hourly count basis.(c) the seven day 16 hourly flow in September.arrow_forward
- Two routes are available to carry 1200 vehicles in peak-hour traffic. Route 1 has a posted speed limit of 45 mph and is 5 miles long. The travel time increases by 2x2, where x is vehicles in thousands. Route 2 has a limit of 55 mph and is 6.7 miles long, and the travel time increases by 1.5x. Find the user-equilibrium travel flow and travel time.arrow_forwardThe average of 24-hour traffic counts collected over a number of days greater than one but less than a year.arrow_forwardDescribe the following types of traffic volume counts and explain when they are used: 1. Intersection countsarrow_forward
- (show your solutions) Given the figure above, compute for the Annual Average Daily Traffic of all vehicle types: * A.338 B.None of the above C.393 D.418 E.431arrow_forwardCompute 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. Your answerarrow_forwardA toll bridge carries 10,000 veh/day. The current toll is $3.00/vehicle. Studies have shown that for each increase in toll of 50 cents, the traffic volume will decrease by 1000 veh/day. It is desired to increase the toll to a point where revenue will be maximized. Let V be the Volume X be the increase in toll charge (a) Write the expression for travel demand on the bridge related to toll increase and current volume. (b) Determine the increase in toll charge (c) Determine the new toll charge to maximize revenues. (d) Determine traffic in veh/day after toll increase. (e) Determine total revenue increase with new toll.arrow_forward
