The Facts :-
1- Divided Six-lane highway is primarily (Median~) Divided
2- No.Lane each direction ( 2 or 3 )= 3
3- Peak-hour volume = 2,350 vph
4- PHF = 0.92
5- Level terrain; grade included; 5280 ft 3.50%
6- Traffic composition EB up :Percent of trucks = 7 %
7- Traffic composition EB up:Percent RVs = 4 %
Traffic composition WB :Percent of trucks = 8 %
Traffic composition WB :Percent RVs = 2 %
8- Lane Widths = 10.5 ft
9- Clearance at roadside ( right )= 8 ft
10 - Access points per mile on up ; Level ( EB ) 8 16
11 - Access points per mile on level ; down ( WB ) 12 4
12 - Base FFS ( posted speed + 7 ) = 65 mi/h
13 - Familiar facility users = 1.00
13 - Segment Length = 10560 ft

finde the LOS for the direction ?

Direction of Analysis EB Up WB level WB Upgrade

1- Comput the FFS FFS = BFFS – fLW – fLC – fM – fA

Speed limit +7 BFFS = mi/h

Exhibit 14-8 fLW = mi/h
Exhibit 15-8
14-9 fLC= mi/h
Exhibit 14-10 fM = mi/h
Exhibit 15-8
14-11 fA= mi/h

FFS = mi/h

2- Select FFS Curve

Exhibit 14-5 FFS = mi/h
3- Adjust Demand Volume vp = Vi .
PHF * N * fHV * fp

demand volumes V= vph

Peak hour factor PHF=
N= lane
fp=

PT= fHV,ATS = 1 .
PR= 1 + PT (ET −1) + PR (ER −1)
