Question: The project involves construction of 1 0 . 0 0 0 residential units consisting of count 2 0 0 0 , 1 + 1 apartments,

The project involves construction of 10.000 residential units consisting of count 2000,1+1 apartments, count 3500,2+1 apartments, count 4000,3+1 apartments and count 500, selfcontained family houses.
60% of the units is projected to be occupied by government employees and 40% to be occupied by private sector employees. 2+1 and 3+1 units are mainly reserved for government employees and 1+1 and private units are reserved for private sector employees. 1 parking space is included for 1+1 and 2+1 units and 2 parking spaces are reserved for 3+1 and private units.
Some governmental agencies have a special interest in this residential development such that their employees will reside in this development. Therefore, the designers can estimate that 75% of all government units are projected to travel by busses each weekday morning and evening and 40% of all private sector units are projected to travel by busses. Remaining percentages are projected to travel by cars. Each bus can replace 15 cars. All the cars allocated to each
dwelling is assumed to be used during the morning and evening rush hours that occur between 06.00-09.00 and 17.00-20.00 with an equal distribution.
The commercial development at the center of the residences is expected to draw 50 trucks each day between 09.00 and 17.00, with an equivalent effect of 5 cars per truck. The commercial center is also expected to draw 5.000 cars between 09.00 and 17.00. Between 20.00 and 06.00, the expected traffic within the residential development is expected to be very low and out of consideration. The roadway, once complete is also expected attract an immediate daily traffic of 10.000 vehicles per day.
The rate of increase in traffic is estimated to be %1.1 percent annually.
Estimate the required number of lanes that reach this residential development based on the projected traffic for 15 years. Select the highest hourly estimated traffic based on the given information. The 30th highest hourly factor for the attracted traffic is 0.1. The directional distribution is 60% and 40%. Draw a bar chart showing the hourly flow rates for the respective times. The design speed is 90kmh and the topography of the roadway is rolling terrain.
Determine the stopping sight distance and the passing sight distance (even if the design calls for a multi-lane design).
Estimate the minimum horizontal curve radius.
