A two-lane rural highway has a capacity of 2,300 veh/h/ln and a free flow speed (FFS) of 55 mph. Based on a 30-min traffic count study, it was found that 850 vehicles (per lane) passed the highway during this time. What is the speed of the 850 vehicles (assume Greenshields model)? a) 54.2 mph b) 49.4 mph c) 37.4 mph d) 41.6 mph e) 25.3 mph

Traffic on a three-lane freeway observes a triangular flow-density relationship with free-flow speed vf=100km/h, capacity c=2000veh/h/lane, jam density kj=150veh/km/lane. Flow in the freeway from upstream is 5000veh/h, while the ramp flow is negligible (almost zero).At 9:45am, an accident occurs at point A. The vehicles involved close one lane of traffic (total capacity reduces to 4000veh/h) for 15min and afterwards the scene is clear (capacity returns to 6000veh/h). Lucy enters the freeway via the ramp at point B at 10:00am. Distance...

A six-lane divided multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) has a measured free-flow speed of 50 mi/h. It is on mountainous terrain with a traffic stream consisting of 7% large trucks and buses and 3% recreational vehicles. The driver population adjustment in 0.92. One direction of the highway currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions and it is known that the highway has PHF=0.90. 1. Determine the hourly volume for these conditions. 2.

A 3-lane freeway drops a lane at location x=0 km. The maximum flow per lane is 1,800 vph, the jam density per lane is 108 veh/km, and the free flow speed is 100 km/hr. Assuming triangular flow-density relation, determine the trip time that will hold from x=-1 to x=+2 km under different types of traffic demand. Recognize that the section under consideration is inhomogeneous and assume that the bottleneck transition is much smaller than the length of the section (3km);...

At a particular point, the traffic density in a highway segment goes from 50 vpm (vpm=veh/mile) to 150 vpm. Throughout its length, the highway has a capacity of 2500 vph (vph=veh/hr) and a jam density of 200 vpm. Assuming Greenshields model, answer the following questions: Is traffic in a congested or uncongested regime when the density is at 50 vpm? Is traffic in a congested or uncongested regime when the density is at 150 vpm? What is the traffic flow...
