1. A transportation engineering study was conducted to determine the proper design of bike lanes. Data were gathered on bike - lane widths and average distance between bikes and passing cars. (Use three decimal places) The data from 9 streets are: Distance 2.4 1.5 2.4 1.8 1.8 2.9 1.2 3 1.2 (m) Lane Width 2.9 2.1 2.3 2.1 1.8 2.7 1.5 2.9 1.5 (m) a. Manually plot the data (draw to scale) b. Fit a straight line to the data with linear regression. Add this line to the plot.

Assume you are observing traffic in a single lane of MCArthur Highway at a specific location. You measure the average headway and average spacing of the vehicles as 3.2sec. and 50 m. respectively. Determine the traffic speed in kilometer/hour Blank 1. Blank 1 Add your answer
The traffic volume for a section of a highway can be estimated using the following equation: q = 15.1k[ln (195) - In(k)] Where q is the traffic flow measured in veh/hr and k is the traffic density measured in veh/mi. Based on the provided information, estimate the following (Show all your calculation steps): Maximum flow a. b. Jam density C. Maximum density
Two routes are available to carry 1200 vehicles in peak-hour traffic. Route 1 has a posted speed limit of 45 mph and is 5 miles long. The travel time increases by 2x2, where x is vehicles in thousands. Route 2 has a limit of 55 mph and is 6.7 miles long, and the travel time increases by 1.5x. Find the user-equilibrium travel flow and travel time.

Question 9 For a freeway with a free flow speed of 70 mph, and an analysis volume (or flow rate) of 1,906 passenger car/hour/lane, what is the speed in mph?
freeway with two northbound lanes is shut down because of an accident. At the time of the accident, the traffic flow rate is 1200 vehicles per hour per lane and the flow remains at this level. The capacity of the freeway is 2200 vehicles per hour per lane when not impacted by an accident. The freeway is shut down completely for 20 minutes after the accident; then one lane is opened 20 minutes after accident; and finally both lanes are opened 40 minutes after the accident. What is the total delay resulting from the accident (assuming D/D/1 queuing)?
