Homework #2
Topics: Transportation Planning Concepts

Include a new development project, which will be located at the main street of the road network you
have previously worked in your Homework 01.

The characteristics of this project are:

The project has a gross area of 6800 m2

It includes the construction of 650 apartments divided into 3 buildings of 18 floors.
This project includes the construction of pedestrian ramps to provide access for people with
disabilities.
The land use is ZRE
The project complies with the RNE requirements

Using the data collected in Homework 01 determine:

1. The traffic volume that this new development will generate

2. Determine the existing LOS (Level of Service)

3. Determine de LOS with the inclusion of the project.

4. Estimate the LOS after 5, 10, 15 years of the implementation of the project. Consider that
after implementation the project will be operating at 100%.

5. Assume that this building has one entry and one exit controlled by an automatic gate, which
can serve 360 vehicles per hour. Determine the length of queue and waiting time,
considering M/M/1.

6. Present you results in a final report.

The final report must include:

Your first report (homework #1)
Include tables, and graphs in a professional manner.
Description of assumptions, methodology use, all calculations, results, and
conclusions.
Include a map that displays the roadway network and the location of the building
project.
