Question

the AADT for a section of suburban freeway is 150000 veh/day. Assuming this is an urban radial facility, what range of directional design hour volumes would be expected?

Answer 1

Answer:

design hour volumes will be 4000 to 6000

Explanation:

given data

AADT  = 150000 veh/day

solution

we get here design hour volumes that is express as

design hour volumes  = AADT × k × D    ..............1

here k is factor and its  range is 8 to 12 % for urban

and D is directional distribution i.e traffic equal divided by the direction

so here design hour volumes will be 4000 to 6000
