4- A traffic engineer, wishing to determine a representative value of the ADT on 250 highway links having similar volume characteristics, conducted a preliminary study from which the following estimates were made: Mean volume =45,750veh? day, Standard deviation =3750veh? day. Determine the minimum number of stations for which the engineer should obtain 24-h volume counts for a 95-5 precision level.
5- The following control counts were made at an urban count station to develop daily and monthly expansion factors.
(a) Calibrate these factors given the data shown below.
\table[[\table[[First Week],[in Month of:]],Day of Week],[Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu],[January,2,000,2,200,2,250,2,000],[April,1,900,2,080,2,110,1,890],[July,1,700,1,850,1,900,1,710],[October,2,100,2,270,2,300,2,050],[\table[[First Week],[in Month of:]],Day of Week],[Fri,,,Sun],[January,1,800,,,950],[April,1,750,,,890],[July,1,580,,,800],[October,1,800,,,1,010]]
\table[[Standard Monthly Volumes],[\table[[Third Week],[in Month of:]],\table[[Average 24-Hour],[Count (Vehs)]]],[January,2,250],[February,2,200],[March,2,000],[April,2,100],[May,1,950],[June,1,850],[July,1,800],[August,1,700],[September,2,000],[October,2,100],[November,2,150],[December,2,300]]
(b) If a count was collected on a coverage station during 7:00 to 8:00 am on Monday in August, what is the estimated AADT?
