Question: An urban freeway is to be designed using the following information. AADT = 5 1 , 2 0 0 veh / day K ( proportion

An urban freeway is to be designed using the following information.
AADT =51,200 veh/day
K (proportion of AADT occurring during the peak hour): 0.12
D (proportion of peak hour traffic traveling in the peak direction): 0.65
Trucks: 8% of peak hour volume
PHF =0.96
Lane width: 12 ft
Shoulder width: 10 ft
Total ramp density: 0.5 interchange/mile; all interchanges are to be cloverleaf interchanges
Terrain: rolling
Determine the number of lanes in the peak direction required to provide LOS C.(Assume commuter traffic and assume no RVs.)
lanes
Show all calculations required. (Calculate your answers for the peak direction only. Enter fHV, the peak hour volume in veh/h, the free flow speed in mi/h, the demand flow rate in pc/h/ln, the mean speed in mi/h, and the density in pc/mi/ln.)
