1. Planners have estimated the following models for the AM Peak Hour T₁ = 1.5 H₁ T; - (1.5 Euj1) + (1 Euthy) + (0.5 Eretj) Where: T - Person Trips Originating in Zone i T₁ = Person Trips Destined for Zone j H Esti Eath Eret Variable 10000 8000 3000 2000 Data Dakotopolis 15000 10000 5000 1500 New Fargo A. What are the number of person trips originating in and destined for each city? B. Normalize the number of person trips so that the number of person trip origins = the number of person trip destinations. Assume the model for person trip origins is more accurate.
Compute the peak hour factor if the hourly volume of traffic is 1882 veh/hour and the highest 15-min volume is 790. Round off to two decimal places.
Q2 / Find the number of lane for the design roadway given the following traffic data: ADT = 7651 vehicles/hour in both direction, - 2% grade , K = 12% , D= 55% , Truck 30%, Busses = 10% , Normal growth for design period = 30% , Generated growth = 20%, Development traffic = 250% , Track = 2 PCU , Busses = 3 PCU and Ideal Сараcity = 1300 PCU / hour / lane.
It is required to design a rural highway in Baghdad city, the anticipated peak hourly volume for the highway section under consideration within one year is shown in table below: Hour No. 5th 15th 20th 30th 1st 4000 3750 3300 45th 50 Volume (veh./hr) 3100 2850 2650 Find the required No. of lanes for this highway (PHF=0.85; DDF 0.6; Truck 10 percent,design service flow for one lane 1080 pc/hr/lane) 40th 2700 2600
It is estimated that after 25 years in a section of highway, the average daily traffic will be 15000 vehicles. It is found that ratio of design hourly volume to the average daily traffic was 15%. The one way traffic volume in the predominant direction is 60% of the two way design hourly volume. Determine the directional ?design hourly volume after 25 years **
Problem: There are 2 routes connecting two cities. The total demand is 1000 veh/hr. The first route has travel time function as t₁ = 10 + 0.03.V₁ and the second route as t₂ = 12 +0.05.V₂, where V₂ and V₂ are traffic volume on route 1 and 2. Note that V₁ + V₂= 1000 veh/hr. Use incremental all-or-nothing assignment with p₁ = 0.4, p2 = 0.3, p = 0.2 and P4 = 0.1 to determine the route traffic flows.
hree routes connect an origin and a destination with performance functions: ?1=8+0.5?1; ?2=1+2?2; and ?3=3+0.75?3; with the x’s being the traffic volume expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and t’s being the travel time expressed in minutes. If the peak hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user equilibrium traffic flows. [Hint: Note that one of the paths will not be used under the equilibrium condition
Compute the peak hour factor if the hourly volume of traffic is 1969 veh/hour and the highest 15-min volume is 737.
