Tutorial 3

The document contains a tutorial for Transportation Engineering II, focusing on various calculations related to traffic capacity, vehicle spacing, and street lighting design. It includes problems on estimating theoretical traffic lane capacity at different speeds, calculating spacing for lighting units, and designing traffic signals using Webster's Method. Additionally, it addresses the design of a fixed time signal for a four-leg intersection based on critical flows and saturation flow rates.

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING II

Tutorial 3
1. Estimate the theoretical capacity of a traffic lane with one-way traffic flow at a stream
speed of 40 kmph. Assume the average space gap between vehicles to follow the
relation Sg = 0.278 Vt, where V is stream speed in kmph, t is the average reaction time
= 0.7 secs. Assume average length of vehicles = 5.0m.
2. What is the theoretical capacity of a traffic lane with one-way traffic flow at a stream
speed of 50 kmph if the average reaction time is 0.9 secs and average length of vehicles
is 7.0 m.
3. Calculate the theoretical maximum traffic capacity for a traffic lane at the speed of 80
kmph. Assume the coefficient of friction (f) as 0.4, total reaction time (t) as 0.75 secs
and average length of the vehicle as 6.0m. Assume the average space gap between
vehicles to follow the relation, Sg = 0.278 Vt + (V2/254f).
4. The free mean speed on a roadway is found to be 80 kmph. Under the stopped
condition
the average spacing between vehicles is 6.9m. Determine the maximum capacity of flow.
5. Calculate the spacing between lighting units to produce average lux of 6.0 in a street
lighting system for the following conditions:
a. Street width = 15m
b. Mounting height = 7.5m
c. Lamp size = 6000 lumen
d. Luminary type = II
6. In the design of street lighting in the road of Biratnagar of 18m width, the mounting
height of 8.0m and lamp size of 7000 lumen is selected. What is the spacing between
lighting units to produce average lux of 5.5?
7. The average normal flow of traffic on cross roads A and B during design period are 400
and 250 PCU per hour, the saturations flow values on these roads are estimated as 1250
and 1000 PCU per hour respectively. The all red time required for pedestrians crossing
is 12 secs. Design two phase traffic signal by Webster’s Method.
8. The average normal flow of traffic on cross roads A and B during design period are 500
and 300 PCU per hour, the saturations flow values on these roads are estimated as 1500
and 1000 PCU per hour respectively. The all red time required for pedestrians crossing
is 15 sec. Design two phase traffic signal by Webster’s method.
9. A simple four leg intersection needs a fixed time signal. The critical flows in the N-S
and E-W directions are 600 and 400 vehicle/hr. Saturation flow is 1800 vehicle/hr and
the lost time per phase is observed to be 5.2 secs. Determine the cycle length and
distribution of green.
