- List at least three geometric design parameters affected by the following factors? (i) Traffic volume and composition. (ii) Design vehicleWhat is the capacity of a freeway with 2-lanes in one direction, 10 ft lanes, 1 ft shoulders and 4 ramps within a six-mile stretch? Show Work Correct Answer: 2335Oasis Freeway is a four lane road located in the Metro where trucks, buses, and rvs can be found aside from passenger cars. At some point further along the roadway there is a 5.5% upgrade that is 1.3 km long. If the traffic stream has 25% large trucks and buses and 5% recreational vehicles, what is the heavy vehicle adjustment factor?
- Create a new highway design. Choose any area of the Philippines where you believe a road infrastructure would be necessary to enhance the city's or province's current transportation system and stimulate the local economy. This study must include the following: - Considering alignment, cross-section, pavement design, signage use, and safety features during design or improvement. -Create a maintenance and rehabilitation plan for the new highway you propose, or for the proposed renovation of the current highway.Yawi Freeway is a four lane road located in the Metro where trucks, buses, and rvs can be found aside from passenger cars. At some point further along the roadway there is a 5.7% upgrade that is 1.5 km long. If the traffic stream has 25% large trucks and buses and 5% recreational vehicles, what is the heavy vehicle adjustment factor?The City of Gainesville and FDOT, in an attempt to proactively address the growing need for capacity in the western area of Gainesville, has identified a potential alignment for a new freeway to UF campus. The FDOT district has contracted you to design this new freeway and identify any additional concerns with this potential freeway. Note that this is an open question, and you may need to make the following assumptions during your work: Lane width (e.g., 12 ft. or 11 ft) Shoulder width (e.g., 6 ft.) Interchange density (e.g., 1 interchange/2 miles) Number of lanes (e.g., 3 or 2 lanes each direction) Hourly volume V= * D*AADT (e.g., =10%, directional distribution D=50%) A design structural number (e.g., SN= 5.0) The following traffic characteristics are expected on this freeway: AADT=30,000 veh PHF=0.95 85% passenger cars Two 2-kip single axles 7% RVs One 10-kip single axle One 24-kip tandem axle 5% single-unit trucks One 12-kip single axle Two 32-kip tandem axles 3% tractor-trailer…
