    Date:

    First Semester Exam 2016-2017

    Note: Answer all questions (25 marks each)

    Q1: Answer the following: (15 marks for A and 10 marks for B)
    A) A section of highway is known to have a free-flow speed of 88.5 km/hr and a capacity of 3300 veh/hr.
    Estimate the average speed at flow rate of 2100 veh/hr assuming linear speed-density relationship.

    Qmax=uf*Kj/4
    3300=88.5*kj/4, kj=149.15 vek/km
    kj 2
    q=u . k j−( ) u
    uf
    149.15 2
    2100=u.149 .15−( )u
    88.5

    1.685u2 – 149.15u + 2100 = 0


    A=1.685, B= -149.15, C=2100
    −B ∓ √ B2 −4 AC
    u=

    149.15 ∓ √ 149.152−4∗1.685∗2100
    u=
    2∗1.685
    u=70.94 km/hr (normal), u=17.57km/hr (congested)

    B) A parking area at city center has 30 bays and serve 200 veh per a day. Given that the parking efficiency
    is 80% and the park is open 8 hours a day, find the average parking duration.

    Parking load=192 veh.hr

    Parking duration= =0.96 hr=57.6 min

    C) Speed and flow data have been collected for a given highway as shown below. Estimate the
    highway capacity assuming nonlinear speed-density relationship.

    Therefore, u=c ln k j −clnk

    c=-b=(optimum speed)= 76.2491


    clnkj=a
    kj= 49.1984
    ln(kj/ko)=1
    ln(kj)-ln(ko)=1
    ln(ko)=ln(kj)-1
    ko= (optimum density)= 18.099
    qmax= optimum speed*optimum density= 1380.0

    Q2: Answer the following:


    A) A section of highway has a speed -density relationship as below, estimate highway capacity. The
    available data for that section suggested that the average speed is 90km/hr when the flow rate is 2000 veh/hr
    and the average spacing (from front bumper to front bumper) between vehicles that are completely stopping
    at congestion is 10m. (16 marks)
    K j
    u= Cnl
    K

    Answer
    Kj=1000/10=100 veh/km
    K j
    u= Cnl
    K
    k when flow=2000 veh/hr is 2000/90=22.222 veh/km
    001
    09 = C nl
    222.22
    C=59.836 (optimum speed)
    The optimum density (ko) is obtained as follows:
    lnkj=1+lnko
    ln ⁡(100)=1+lnko

    ko=36.79 veh/km
    Qmax=optimum speed*optimum density
    Qmax=59.836*36.79=2201 veh/hr

    B) Describe the traffic conditions (normal or congested) for the following cases: (9 marks)
    1- Traffic demand=5000veh/hr, traffic volume=4000 veh/hr, highway capacity=4500 veh/hr.
    Demand>capacity (Congested)
    2- Traffic demand=4000veh/hr, traffic volume=4000 veh/hr, highway capacity=4500 veh/hr.
    Demand <capacity, Volume<capacity (Normal)
    3- Traffic volume=1800 veh/hr, traffic density=30 veh/km, free flow speed=140 km/hr.
    Speed=1800/30=60km/hr<uf/2 (Congested)

    Q3) Answer the following:


    A) It is required to estimate AADT based on traffic volumes data taken from specific hours during specific
    days and months as shown below. The volume characteristic tables are also given. (15 marks)
    Month Day Hour Volume
    April Monday 9:00 - 10:00 A.M. 1100
    May Wednesday 11:00 – 12:00 A.M. 800
    October Sunday 10:00 – 11:00 A. M. 1300

    Answer:
    1- Estimation of 24 hours volume:
    For Monday (9:00-10:00)=1100*18.8=20680 veh/day
    For Wednesday (11:00-12:00)=800*18.52=14816 veh/day
    For Sunday (10:00-11:00)=1300*17.1=22230 veh/day

    2- Adjust 24-hour volumes for weakly volumes:


    For Monday=20680*7.012= 145008 ADT= 145008/7=20715
    For Wednesday=14816*6.582=97519, ADT=97519/7=13391
    For Sunday=22230*9.515=211518, ADT=211518/7=30217
    3- Adjust ADT to AADT
    20715∗1.481=13391∗1.394+30217∗0.948
    AADT = =25997 veh/day

    B) Three vehicles (A, B and C) traveled a same distance of 25km during 28, 29, 30 minutes, respectively.
    Given that each one of these vehicles has stopped at a check point for about 5 minutes, estimate average
    running and journey speeds. (10 marks)

    Answer:
    Journey speeds:
    Journey speed of A= 25/(28/60)=53.57km/hr
    Journey speed of B= 25/(29/60)=51.72km/hr
    Journey speed of C= 25/(30/60)=50.00km/hr
    Average Journey speed=(53.57+51.72+50)/3=51.72 km/hr
    Running speeds
    Running speed of A= 25/((28-5)/60)=65.22km/hr
    Running speed of B= 25/((29-5)/60)=62.5km/hr
    Running speed of C= 25/((30-5)/60)=60 km/hr

    Average running speed=(65.22+62.5+60)/3=62.57 km/hr

    Q4) Vehicles start arriving at a recreational park from 7:30 a.m. with a rate of 5 veh/min for a 20 minutes
    and then with a rate of 8veh/min for the rest of the day. The park usually open at 8:00 a. m. and the park
    policy required that the queue must be cleared at 8:30 a. m. as a maximum. Estimate the following:
    1) The required service rate. 2) Maximum queue lengths. 3) Average delay per a vehicle.

    Answer

    Arrivals at 8:30=5(20)+8(40)=420 veh


    The queue must clear at 8:30 (i.e. after 30 minutes from opening the park)
    Service rate =420/30=14 veh/min

    Maximum queue at time t=30


    Arrivals=100+8(30-10)=180 veh

    Total delay=
    420*60-(420*30/2)-(320*40/2)-(100*20/2)-(320*20)=5100 veh.min
    Average delay=5100/420=12.14 min
