Highway Surveys and Location

Surveying is an operation in the civil engineering domain that requires collecting and identifying data regarding an area of land and topography. The data that is collected can be helped to plan and undertake the construction process. Civil engineers perform surveys to gather three-dimensional information regarding a particular area. Engineers specify several points on the surface of the earth and relationship between points, and the distance and angles between the points are evaluated. The data from this evaluation guides in drawing plans regarding buildings and structures.

This a highway design course and the books ISBN:13-978-0-495-43853-3. It is just like example 5.4 please help quick. MY HW IS DUE IN THE NEXT HOUR.

Question 1
Figure 1 indicates a set of design reference flows for the morning peak at a proposed roundabout
intersection. All flows are in vehicles per hour. Estimate the ratio of flow to capacity for each entry point.
A heavy goods vehicle content of 11% is assumed.
The following are the geometric parameters assumed for each entry arm at the roundabout:
e = 7.0 m
v = 3.25 m for each of the entry arms
l = 10 m
D = 28 m
phi = 31°
r= 11m
Show sketches to indicate circulating, entering and exiting flows on the roundabout.

Two routes connect an origin and a destination and the flow is 15000 veh/h. Route 1 has a performance function t1=4+3*x1, and route 2 has a function of t2=b+6*x2, with the x's expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and the t's in minutes.

(b) If population declines reduce the number of travelers at the origin and the total origin-destination flow is reduced to 7000 veh/h, determine user equilibrium travel times and flows.
A segment of rural freeway is being designed for a FFS of 70 mph through rolling terrain. The directional (i.e. one-way) design volume is 3,000 vehicles per hour. If 10% of the design volume is expected to be heavy vehicles (i.e. trucks and buses), what is the heavy vehicle adjustment used to determine the flow rate?

A rural freeway has two lanes in each direction of flow. Each lane is 3.6 m wide and the shoulder clearance is 1.2 m. The freeway has interchanges spaced at 5 km apart. The traffic stream consists of 10% trucks and 8% RVs. An estimated factor for the driver population is 0.8. Given the maximum 15 minutes flow (i.e. PHF has already been factored) is 1 760 veh/h, determine the level of service of the freeway (consider typical Namibian condition).
