A six-lane multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) has a peak-hour factor of 0.90, 11-ft lanes with a 4-ft right side shoulder, and a two-way left-turn lane in the median. The directional peak-hour traffic flow is 4000 vehicles, and the traffic stream has 5% single-unit trucks and 5% tractor-trailers. What will the level of service of this highway be on a 2.5% upgrade that is 1.5 miles long if the speed limit is 55 mph and there are 15...

A four-lane freeway with two lanes in each direction has a measured free-flow speed of 55 mi/hr. The peak-hour factor is 0.80 and there are 6% trucks, 2% buses, and 2% recreational vehicles in the traffic stream. One upgrade is 5% and 0.5 miles long. A traffic engineer has determined that the freeway is operating at capacity on this upgrade during the peak hour. If the peak-hour traffic volume is 3900 vehicles, what value for the driver population adjustment factor...

A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) has the arrival flow rate of λ(t)=40-0.15t (with t in minutes and λ(t) in vehicles per minute). At 7 am, an accident occurred in the northbound and blocked both lanes. Twenty minutes later, one lane was opened. At 7:40 am the accident was cleared and both lanes were opened. The capacity of the highway is 2,200 vehicles per hour per lane if not impacted by an accident. (Assuming D/D/1 queuing). When did...
