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 factor is 1, and it goes to 0.97 after trucks. What will be the level of service before and after trucks are allowed on the road.

Travel demand modeling plays an important role in urban transportation planning as it helps planners explain and predict behavior of consumers of transportation services. The traditional Urban Transportation Planning System (UTPS) Four-Step Procedure has been a center piece of travel demand analysis. However, a number of alternative approaches and improvements have been developed and implemented over the years.
Project Objectives
The objectives of this term paper are:
1. To document the history and theoretical background of travel demand modeling
2. To identify alternative approaches for modeling travel demand
Project Questions
1. What are the basic principles and theories behind the traditional Four-Step Procedure for travel demand analysis? Demonstrate by formula or numerically, or otherwise.
2. What are the advantages of the Four-Step Procedure for travel demand analysis? Cite examples, if any.
3. What are the limitations of the Four-Step Procedure for travel demand analysis? Give specific examples (numerically or otherwise)
4. What alternative approaches have been used to address the limitations of the traditional Four-Step Procedure for travel demand analysis? Give specific examples (numerically or otherwise)

Greater and greater emphasis is being placed on the value of collaborative working. Both from the viewpoint of the reduction in waste and the benefits of specialists being involved at appropriate project stages. Recently, these principles have been applied to project planning. With reference to project management theory discuss the implications for the project manager of these trends, paying particular attention to the implications for planning throughout the project life-cycle.

After the first three cases were culture confirmed, the management at the factory requested that workers report any symptoms of illness that they might have experienced during the month of July. Of the 3155 employees, 74 reported gastrointestinal symptoms (i.e., diarrhea) in July and stool samples were obtained from these workers. Of the 74 workers who reported that they were ill, 56 were culture-confirmed. Based on retrospective interviews, the onset dates for diarrhea for these 56 workers were as follows:

A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) operates at capacity during the peak hour. It has 11-ft lanes, 4-ft shoulders, and there are 3 ramps within 3 miles upstream of the segment midpoint and 4 ramps within 3 miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The freeway is on rolling terrain and has 8% heavy vehicles with a peak-hour factor of 0.85. It is know that 12% of the AADT occurs in the peak hour and that the directional factor is 0.6. What is the freeway’s AADT?

To test the project’s viability we have evaluated it against different factors. These factors are:
Cost, Time, Manpower and Quality.
Cost:
A project is not considered viable if its is not delivered within its budget. The cost viability of a project can change over the course of the project. However, due to the short timeframe and current trends in the market, we can assure you that project is viable from cost perspective.
Do we need to provide helicopter view of COST estimate?
Best to generate three alternatives
Top Tier: Provides all required functionality that has been requested for with top end fixtures (High-end alternatives).
Mid-Tier: Provides all required functionality that has requested, with mid-level quality fixtures:
Bottom-Tier: Provide most of the required functionality with base/entry level fixtures.
Sources of hardware;
Hardware stores: Existing agreements with hardware suppliers, and other friendly builders.
Time:
This project can be delivered on time by the requested date. A project schedule has been prepared for the project. We are confident that handover is expectedby 15-04-2019.
Project schedule provided, provides the complete timeline of the key deliverables and the final product.
To mitigate any time related issues, we have a backup team and another standby subcontractor to deliver the project on-time.
Manpower:
Manpower is important aspect in project’s viability, losing key member of a staff member can cause a project to lose its viability. In addition to our permanent staff, we have various agreements with other friendly firms, contractors, sub-contractors, and recruitment agencies.
Quality of the build is checked and tested at various stages of the projects. At the main milestones as shown on the schedule our quality assurance team shall inspect and works.
Our company is ISO certified and shall confirm with ISO 15928 standards for; Houses – Description of performance—part 5 Operating energy.
To keep the quality of the build (Whichever tier is chosen) shall be maintained by regular quality inspections.
Inspections shall be done to check the procured items, check against the specification, industry standards and regulations, it shall also whether it meets your chosen requirements (Chosen tier option).
Certificates are to be provided by the Electrician, plumbers, cablers (Data and Telephony) along with 10 years warranty and
