- A new section of a freeway is to be designed with a free-flow-speed of 65 mph along of 0.75 mile on 5% upgrade. The expected traffic volume is 4200 v/hr. The traffic composition is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B), how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?A 4-lane new urban freeway is suggested to be designed with the following data: F.ADT = 30000 vpd, design hour factor= 0.11 and directional split = 60%. Rolling terrain, 12% trucks, 3% buses, 6% Rvs, PHF is 0.92 and all traffic are commuters. Then based on the HCM 2000 procedure, the equivalent passenger-car hourly flow rate is about 2280 .a 1385 .b 1115 .C None .d 1650 .eIf Vf = 2327 VPH with 9% trucks, VR1 = 653 VPH with 5% trucks, and VR2 = 594 VPH with 8% trucks, what is the passenger car equivalents (Vpcph) of the onramp? Assume that the roadway is urban.
- A section of four lane (two lanes in each direction) freeway in mountainous terrain, which is 2.5 mi long, is to be improved to carry on a regular weekday a heavy volume of 3000 veh/h, consisting of 80% passenger cars, 15% trucks, 3% buses, and 2% recreational vehicles. The PHF is 0.90. Determine the additional number of 12-ft lanes required in each direction if the road is to operate at LOS B. The base FFS is 65mph, there is a lateral obstruction 4ft from the pavement on the right side of the road, and interchange spacing is 2 mi. Driver population adjustment factor fp= 1.0.You are designing a freeway as a passenger-car only facility, and with ideal roadway characteristics. It is estimated that the freeway will have a traffic demand of 75,000 vehicles per day, a free-flow speed of 70 mi/h, a traffic stream of primarily commuters, a peak-hour factor of 0.88, and a directional distribution of 0.65. Determine the number of lanes (both directions) required to provide at least LOS C using the 40th highest annual hourly volume (K = 0.116).

Determine the number of lanes (both directions) required to provide at least LOS C using the 40th highest annual hourly volume (K = 0.116).
- A four-lane basic freeway segment on level terrain is being redesigned. The current roadway has 12 ft lanes with 4 ft shoulders. The proposed alignment would expand to six 11-ft lanes with 2 ft shoulders. The road carries 3000 vehicles in the peak hour in one direction, with 925 coming in the peak 15 minutes. The truck mix is 70/30 and makes up 10% of traffic. What is the density and LOS (level of service) before and after the proposed change?A basic segment of a rural freeway has the following characteristics: • Four-lanes (two lanes in each direction)%3B There is one ramp within 3 miles upstream, and 2 ramps within 3 miles downstream; 10-ft lanes; Right shoulder width of 4 ft; • Level terrain;. 10% trucks and 5% buses in the vehicle stream. Calculate the FFS at this freeway section and then determine the level of service (LOS) when the flow rate is 1740 pc/h/In. (Write the answer for the LOS in the box below).You are designing a freeway as a passenger-car only facility, and with ideal roadway characteristics. It is estimated that the freeway will have a traffic demand of 75,000 vehicles per day, a free-flow speed of 70 mi/h, a traffic stream of primarily commuters, a peak-hour factor of 0.88, and a directional distribution of 0.65. Determine the number of lanes (both directions) required to provide at least LOS D using the 60th highest annual hourly volume (K60 = 0.11). The answer is a/an -ane freeway.
