Of Trips Per Day in That Zone

The document outlines 12 transportation planning and engineering problems or questions. Some of the key problems include: 1) Describing the steps an engineer would take to determine the need for a grade-separated railroad crossing to replace an at-grade crossing. 2) Describing the basic steps in the transportation planning process. 3) Explaining the three "C"s concept in transportation planning as mandated by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962. 4) Using multiple regression to determine the average number of trips per day in a traffic analysis zone (TAZ) with a given number of houses, average household size, and number of autos per household.

Assignment #02

Problems
1. Describe the steps that an engineer should follow if he or she were asked to determine the
need for a grade-separated railroad grade crossing that would replace an at-grade crossing
of a two-lane highway with a rail line.
2. Describe the basic steps in the transportation planning process.
3. Explain the three “C”s concept in the transportation planning process, as mandated in the
Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962.
4. A particular TAZ contains 400 houses, with an average 6 persons and 3 autos for each
household, determine the average number of trips per day in that zone Using Multiple
Regression.
5. A person travels to work in the morning and returns home in the evening. How many
productions and attractions are generated in the work and residence zones?
6. A small town has been divided into three traffic zones. An origin-destination survey was
conducted earlier this year and yielded the number of trips between each zone as shown
in the table below. Travel times between zones were also determined. Provide a trip
distribution calculation using the gravity model for two iterations. AssumeKij_1.
The following table shows the number of productions and attractions in each zone.

7. For the travel pattern in Figure 12.18, develop the Fratar method of trip distribution for
two iterations using the average growth factor method.
8. Determine the number of transit trips per day in a zone which has 20000 people living on
100 acres. The auto ownership is 60% of zero autos per household and 40% of one auto
per household.
9. To illustrate the application of the QRS method, assume that the data shown in Table
12.21

10. It has been observed that interstate truck traffic has been growing at an average rate of
5% annually for the past 20 years. Currently, truck ADT volumes are 12000 veh/day. a.
Provide an estimate of truck traffic 4 years hence if the past 20 years of growth is
expected to continue.
