AADT, 106,949 vehicles per day; K-Factor, 10%; and D-Factor, 54%. Using this information, answer the following questions. Be sure to show your work and clearly state all your assumptions.
[a] Estimate the FFS using the HCM method
[b] Estimate the Demand Flow Rate (Vp) for this section. How does this value compare with the capacity for basic freeway segments as reported in the HCM?
[c] Estimate the Demand Flow Rate (Vp) for this section using the AADT, K-Factor, and D-Factor provided.
[d] Based on your solutions from Part [a] and Part [c], calculate the density of this basic freeway segment and the corresponding level of service (LOS) using the HCM method.
