A four-lane highway has a normal capacity of 1800 vehicles per hour per lane. In the southbound direction, a vehicle disablement on the roadway shoulder occurs at 4:30 p.m. Due to rubbernecking, the capacity in the southbound direction is reduced to 1200 veh/h/lane at this time. At 4:45 p.m., the disabled vehicle is removed from the shoulder and the capacity increases to 1500 veh/h/lane. At 5:00 p.m., the roadway capacity returns to its full value of 1800 veh/h/lane. From 4:30 p.m. until the queue clears the traffic flow rate in the southbound direction is 1600 veh/h/lane. What are the average delay per vehicle, the maximum queue length, and the average queue length in the southbound direction resulting from the incident (assuming D/D/1 queuing)?
Q2-4 lanes rural segment of highway with ideal conditions, compute the average head way of vehicles operated at level of service D with free flow speed 100 km/hr, compute the level of service and flow rate (maximum traffic volume ) for operate with free flow speed 120 km/hr ?
A rural divided four lane highway has a peak volume in one direction of 1850 vehicles per hour. Ideal conditions apply, therefore, they're no heavy goods vehicles, buses or recreational vehicles in the traffic. The pHF Is 0.8 and the design speed limit is 70km/h . Determine the level of service being provided by The highway.

- A six-Lane urban freeway (three lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain with 11 feet lanes, obstructions to 2 feet from the right edge of the travel pavement, and eight ramps within three miles upstream and three miles downstream of the mid point of the analysis segment. The traffic stream consist primarily of commuters. A directional weekly peak our volume of 2300 vehicles is observed, with 700 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 15% large trucks and buses and no recreational vehicles, determine the level of servicearrow_forwardA four-lane freeway with the following characteristics: ten foot travel lanes lateral obstructions at 0 feet at the roadside total ramp density is 4.5 ramps/mile rolling terrain The roadway has a current peak demand volume of 3500 veh/h. The peak hour factor is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses, or RVs in the traffic stream because the roadway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited. At what level of service will the freeway operate during its peak period of demand?arrow_forwardAssume you are observing traffic in a single lane of McArthur Highway at a specific location. You measure the average headway and average spacing of the vehicles as 3.2sec. and 50 m. respectively. Determine the traffic flow in vehicle/hour.arrow_forward
- A four-lane undivided multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) has 11-ft lanes, 4-ft shoulders, and 10 access points per mile. It is determined that the roadway currently operates at capacity with PHF= 0.80 and a driver population adjustment of 0.9. If the highway is on level terrain with 8% large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles) and the speed limit is 55 mi/h, what is the directional hourly volume?arrow_forwardIn a 500 m section of highway, there are 10 vehicles observed. The time headway is 4 sec. Determine the space mean speed of the vehicles in kph.arrow_forwardDuring the peak hour, an urban freeway segment has a traffic flow of 6,000 veh/h, with 4,000 vehicles with one occupant and 2,000 vehicles with two occupants. The freeway has five lanes, four of which are unrestricted opening to all vehicles regardless of vehicle occupancy and one lane that is restricted for use by vehicles with two occupants. Link performance functions for the length of this freeway segment are tu = 30+ 0.5vu for the unrestricted lanes and tr = 20+2vr for the restricted lane, where t’s are in minutes and v’s are in 1,000 vehicles. Solve for the distribution of traffic among the lanes using the SO principle and compare the savings in person hours relative to a UE solution, assuming that the compliance is perfect and that no single-occupant vehicles use the restricted lanes.arrow_forward
