At a short-term counting location with patterns like the PART A counter, the 24-hour count in August on a Wednesday was 1,500 bicycles and 175 pedestrians and on a Thursday was 1,650 bicycles and 190 pedestrians. 1. What is the best estimate of AADB for the short-term location? 2. What is the best estimate of AADP for the short-term location?

2. A four zones city has two residential zones A and B, generating 725 and 575 trips, respectively. These trips go to two employment zones C and D, attracting 875 abd 425 trips respectively. The travel time, friction factors, between zones is given as Route AC AD BC BD Travel Time 8 15 10 13 Friction Factors 90 10 60 50 (a) Estimate the trips generating from A and B respectively (b) The OD survey that was performed for this city indicates that the actual number of trips on each route was as follows, AC=650, AD=75, BC-400 and BD = 175. (c) Determine the new friction factor Fij in order the replicate the actual trip movements.
A new freeway is to be designed through a rural area having level terrain. The number of lanes proposed are 2 in each direction. The facility will facilitate 10 percent trucks and buses and 5 percent RVs. If the objective is to provide a LoS C, hwo much traffic volume the facility will facilite in the peak hour. Assume all missing data if necessary.
Question - 1: Traffic needs to be calculated for a road network shown in Figure 1.1. Residential Area Table 1: Traffic data for road section AA Vehicle Type Number of axles 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 B Figure 1.1: Road network Information available regarding the project: The road needs to be designed for 20 years. The roads are two directional and have two lanes. Information available regarding Traffic: Bus Pickup truck Single unit truck Rigid truck Residential Area Classified traffic count was conducted in the region shown in Figure 1.1. Based on the traffic count data, the proportions of vehicle type for road section AA and road section BB are shown in Table 1.1 and Table 1.2 respectively. The total annual average daily traffic in 2018 for road section AA and road section BB are 10000 and 6000 vehicles respectively. Percentage of truck traffic (buses+trucks+trailers) for road section AA and road section BB are 20% and 5%. Articulated truck Articulated truck Using a land usage model, the predicted…

A rural primary road segment of 2 miles long has an average annual daily traffic(AADT) of 11,350. The number of crashes that have occurred over the past 5 yearsare 5 fatal, 55 injury crashes and 100 property damage only crashes. Statewide averagecrashes for this type of road are 2 fatal, 130 injury, and 300 property damage onlycrashes per 100 MVMT. The weighting factors for fatal, injury and property crashesare 8, 3, 1, respectively. Using the critical crash ratio methodology, determine whetherthis site can be labeled a hazardous site. Use a 95 percent confidence limit.
Q 04: Discuss Road accident data base and also suggest what remedial measures are required to reduce the causes of accidents.
Explain the flaw in each of these traffic analysis zones (TAZs): (a) TAZ 1 contains dormitories, a research park, and 300 single-family detached dwelling units. (b) TAZ 2 straddles an interstate highway, with half of the zone east of the highway and half to the west of the highway. (c) TAZ 3 contains 5,000 people.

QUESTION 3 a) Road accident 'black spots' are locations that attract more accidents by comparison with other similar locations on the road system. Speed has been identified as a key risk factor in road traffic injuries at 'black spots' influencing both the risk of a road crash as well as the severity of the injuries from the crash. Interpret FIVE (5) benefits resulting from a spot speed study at the 'black spots' location conducted during Malaysia's festival season at KM399.8 of North-South Expressway. (CO1-PO3)(C3)
