Determine the number of lanes required according to Highway Capacity Manual 2010 methodology to achieve a target Level of Service (LOS) of C for a section of a freeway. The section characteristics are the following: rolling terrain, 15% trucks, 2% RVs, PHF = 0.90, AADT = 30,000 veh/day, 50% traffic in the design direction, 12 ft wide lanes, 5 ft right shoulder clearance, 4 ramps in 6 miles. Use 30th highest hourly volume for design hour volume assuming that the value will be exceeded in 15% of similar locations.

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...

According to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, the mean number of miles driven annually is 12,200 with a standard deviation of 3800 miles. A resident of the state of Montana believes the drivers in Montana drive more than the national average. She obtains a random sample of 35 drivers from a list of registered drivers in the state and finds the mean number of miles driven annually for these drivers to be 12,895.90. Is there sufficient evidence to show that...
