A traffic engineer needs to determine the AADT on a rural primary road that has the volume distribution characteristics shown in the following tables. He collected the following data on a Wednesday during the month of August. What is the estimated AADT of the road using following information (Traffic volume, HEF, DEF, and MEF factors)? (6.5 points)?

Traffic flow is traditionally modeled as a Poisson Distribution. A traffic engineer monitors the traffic flowing through an intersection with an average of 9 vehicles per minute. What is the random variable X described above? Write the distribution of X using the standard notations. What should be the variance and the standard deviation of the number of vehicles through the intersection within a minute? ...

3. For a dual carriageway new road scheme, the average annual daily flow (AADT) of one way traffic is 24,000; 2% are commercial vehicles. No channelisation is expected to occur. Design a foundation and bound layers of a pavement. The subgrade surface modulus = 40mpa = 4%CBR. State any assumptions made, including the choice of design method and sketch a cross section of the final pavement design. (N.B. there are hundreds of potentially correct designs depending on the choices of...

Rural County has a population of 15,000, a small primary care hospital, and tenphysicians, including seven general and family practitioners, an obstetrician, a pediatrician,and a general surgeon. All the physicians are solo practitioners. The nearest urban area isabout 60 miles away in Big City, which has a population of 300,000, and three majorhospitals to which patients from Rural County are referred or transferred for higher levelsof hospital care. However, Big City is too far away for most residents of Rural...

The cost of grading and spreading gravel on a short rural road is expected to be $300,000. The road will have to be maintained at a cost of $25,000 per year. Even though the new road is not very smooth, it allows access to an area that previously could only be reached with off-road vehicles. The improved accessibility has led to a 150% increase in the property values along the road. If the previous market value of a property was...

As an engineer you are responsible to in charge to conduct an experiment for this traffic flow analysis: At 2:00 P.M. a traffic accident closes a road to all traffic. At 2:15 P.M. the road is partially opened with a capacity (car departs) of 1,500 veh/h. Finally, the wreckage is removed, and the road is restored to full capacity (car departs) (3,500 veh/h) at 2:35. From 2:00 to 2:35, car arrives at a constant flow of 2,500 veh/h and then...

Traffic on a section of an arterial road is flowing at a space mean speed of 40km/hr. The flow of traffic on the road section can be described using the following equation (where q represents flow in veh/hr and k represents the density in veh/km): q = 50 * (k - k^2/150) A slow moving heavy vehicle turns onto the roadway at 2pm, 2km from the beginning of the arterial road, driving at 15km/hr due to its heavy load. The...

A bridge on a small, rural road is designed to hold 10 cars when it is full and its maximum continuous weight that the bridge is designed to hold is 39,000 pounds. Assume that the average American car weighs 3750 pounds and that American cars' weights have a standard deviation of 200 pounds. If the bridge is fully loaded with 10 cars, what is the probability that it will be overloaded? Hint: Think about what the bridge designer thought the...
