You and your partner have been dispatched to a report of a motorcycle crash on a curvy back road. Fellow riders at the scene reported the patient was travelling too fast to negotiate a sharp curve and was thrown over a guardrail into a tree. They carried the patient up an approximate 4-foot embankment to the road.Upon your arrival, you find a male patient you estimate to be between 20 – 25 years of age, being cared for by a police officer who has opened the airway using an NPA and is administering oxygen via an NRB. The officer reports the patient has been unconscious since she got to the scene. Looking down the embankment, you see the patient’s helmet and note it has sustained significant damage.As you approach the patient, you observe the patient has gross angulation involving his left lower leg and deformity to his right humerus.1. In addition to scene safety, what else would you evaluate during your initial scene size-up?2. What specific information other than that gathered through…
1.. Please show work and steps.
If an approach has a PHF of 0.90 and a counted hourly volume of 800 veh/hr what is the maximum 15-minute volume and peak rate of flow?
What is the highest and lowest possible value of PHF?
At a given location, the space mean speed is measured as 70 mph and the rate of flow as 2200 pc/h/ln. What is the density at this location for the analysis period? How could you decrease the density by 10%?
Calculate the minimum passing sight distance required for a two-lane rural highway that has a posted limit of 72 kph. The local traffic engineer conducted a speed study of the subject road and found the following:
Average speed of passing vehicle= 76 kph
Average acceleration of passing vehicle= 2.3 kph/sec
Average speed of impeder vehicles= 64 kph

I will give an upvote if it satisfies. Thank you! A vehicle that is moving on a wet road that has difference in elevation of 3 m on both ends. Starting point is higher than the end point. The horizontal length of the road is 100 m ends at an initial speed of 50 km/h and is needed to stop. What is its braking distance?arrow_forwardA technique used to provide more balance between motorized and non-motorized users on local and neighborhood roads.arrow_forwardFor this exercise, you are to design a roadway that is to carry 100,000 people a day (excluding truck occupants) – 50,000 in design direction. The vehicles that carry these people include; (1) personal vehicles (average occupancy of 1.2 people per car) 2-2 kip single axles, and (2) buses with 2-22 kip single axles (assume they are filled with an average of 40 passengers). There are also trucks on the roadway and all trucks have 1-40 kip triple axle, 1-32 kip tandem axle, and 1-8 kip single axle. You know that the soil CBR is 6, the initial PSI is 4.5 and the TSI is 2.5.

- An incident occurs on a freeway that has a capacity in the north bound direction, before incident, of 4000 veh/h and a constant flow of 2900 veh/h during the morning commute (no adjustments to traffic flow result from the incident). At 8:00am, a vehicle crash closes the freeway to all traffic. At 8:12am, the freeway is partially opened with a capacity of 2000 veh/h. Finally, the crash site is removed and the freeway is restored to full capacity of 4000 veh/h at 8:31am. Assuming the traffic follows a D/D/1 queueing (FIFO queue discipline) to determine time of queue dissipation, longest queue length, total delay, average delay per vehicle, and longest wait of any vehicle.arrow_forwardDetermine the values of a) free flow speed in mph, b) optimum speed in mph, c) is this relationship Greenshields one ?

If no brakes are used immediately, an automobile with a starting velocity of 30 mph or 44 feet/s will collide with a person. If the driver is inebriated, he or she will be able to respond to the situation in three seconds. If the driver is not intoxicated, he or she can react for about 0.75 seconds. Determine the shortest stopping distance required for the driver (intoxicated, under influence of alcohol) to break on time if the automobile accelerates at -2 feet/s2.arrow_forward
- A state patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway on-ramp. She radioed ahead to a patrolofficer 30 mi along the highway. When the car reached the location of the second officer 25 minuteslater, it was clocked going 60 mi/hr. The driver of the car was given a ticket for exceeding the 60 mi/hrspeed limit. Why can the officer conclude that the driver exceeded the speed limit?arrow_forwardTopic: Transportation engineering Free-flow speed of a lane of a road is 120 km/h and the jam density is 80 veh/h.
