An existing 2-lane (in each direction) multilane divided highway. The speed limit is 50 mi/h, the lanes are 11-ft wide and lateral clearance is 2-ft. The peak hour volume is 1,800 veh/h in one direction, there are 5% trucks, a PHF of 0.92, but 1 access point per mile.
a) Determine the LOS during the peak hour.
b) Compare your result with the freeway in situation 1.

TRP 631: HIGHWAY TRAFFIC OPERATIONS An existing six-lane divided multilane highway with a field-measured free-flow speed of 45 mi/h serves a peak-hour volume of 4,000 veh/h with 10% trucks (50% SUT, 50% TT). The PHF is 0.88. The highway has generally rolling terrain. What is the likely level of service of this segment? Good weather, no incidents, no work zones, and regular drivers may be assumed.

A four-lane undivided multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) has 3.4 m lanes and 1.5 m shoulders. At one point along the highway there is a 4% upgrade that is 1 km long. There are 15 access points along this grade. The peak-hour traffic volume has 2500 passenger cars and 200 trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and 720 of these vehicles arrive in the most congested 15-min period. This traffic stream is primarily commuters. The measured free-flow speed...

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING: A multilane highway has four lanes (2 in each direction) and a measured FFS of 55 mph. One upgrade is 5% and 0.62 miles long. Currently trucks are not permitted on the road, but there are 2% busses in the directional volume of 1900 vehicles (PHF is 0.80). Local authorities are considering allowing trucks into the traffic stream. If this is done, they estimate 150 trucks will use this highway during peak hour. Before trucks, the driver population...

A multilane highway has two northbound lanes. Each lane has a capacity of 1500 vehicles per hour. Currently, northbound traffic is consists of 3100 vehicles with 1 occupant, 600 vehicles with 2 occupants, 400 vehicle with 3 occupants, and 20 buses with 50 occupants each. The highway’s performance function is t = t0 ( 1 + 1.15 (x/c)6.87 ) where t is in minutes, t0 is equal to 15 minutes, and x and c are volumes and capacities in vehicle...

A divided multilane highway in a recreational area (fp=0.90) has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and is on a rolling terrain. The highway has 3 m lanes with a 1.8 m right-side shoulder and a 0.9 m left-side shoulder. The posted speed limit is 80 km/h. Formerly there were 3 access points per km, but recent development has increased the number of access points to 9 access points per km. Before development, the peak-hour factor was 0.90 and...

An undivided rural multilane highway segment is to be widened so as to increase its existing lane widths from 9ft to 12ft. Compute the expected average total crash frequency after widening for the following conditions. Expected average crash frequency before widening = 20 total crashes/yr AADT on highway segment = 1800 veh/day Proportion of total crashes constituted by CMF-related crashes = 0.65 Question 5 options: 18.35 crashes/yr 13.45 crashes/yr 16.39 crashes/yr 20.45 crashes/yr
