Problem 1:

Solution:

Length of N-5 stretch = 4 miles

AADT (in 2005) = 160,500

Lanes = 8

Capacity = 1750 veh/hr/ln

Conversion factor (AADT to AWDT) = 1.12

TRAVEL TIME SAVINGS:

 Travel Time saving for morning peak from = Travel Time (2005) – Travel Time (2010)
8.00am – 9.00am

= 8.4min – 4.5min = 3.9min

Travel Time saving for morning peak from 8.00am – 9.00am = 0.065 hr

 Travel Time saving value in 2010 = Travel Time saving value in 2005 x CPI (2010)
CPI (2005)

Travel Time saving value in 2010 = Rs. 14.5 x 190.85 / 160.40

= Rs. 17.3 /person/hr

(Considering 20% traffic flowing in morning peak hour 8 to 9 am)

 Total Benefits for Travel Time savings = 0.2*160500*1.07*17.3*0.065

= Rs. 38,623 /day

 Total Benefits for Travel Time savings/year = Rs. 38,623 *365

 (Annual Vehicle Travel Time saving) = Rs. 14.09 million
