    A document describes a freeway with 10% trucks and 5% RVs operating in rolling terrain that has an observed peak hour volume of 3,500 vehicles. It asks what the equivalent volume is in passenger car units per hour (pc/h), given the traffic composition percentages. It also provides details about an 8-lane urban freeway, including lane widths and interchange density, to calculate the upgrade and downgrade service flow rates and volumes for a 1-mile section on a 4% grade. Finally, it describes an existing 6-lane highway with a measured free-flow speed of 45 mph, peak hour volume of 4,000 vehicles, 15% trucks and no RVs, and rolling terrain to determine the likely level of service.

    A freeway operating in generally rolling terrain

    has a traffic composition of 10% trucks and 5%

    RVs. If the observed peak hour volume is 3,500

    vehk, what is the equivalent volume in pc/h?

    12-5. Find the upgrade and downgrade service flow

    rates and service volumes for an eight-lane urban

    freeway with the following characteristics: (a) 11-

    ft lanes, (b) 2-ft lateral clearances, (c) interchange

    density = 2.0/mi, (d) 5% trucks, no recreational

    vehicles, and (e) driver population consisting of

    regular facility users. The section in question is on

    a 4% sustained grade of 1 mile. The PHF is 0.85.

    12-6. An existing six-lane divided multilane highway

    with a field-measured free-flow speed of 45 mi/h

    serves a peak-hour volume of 4,000 vehk, with

    15% trucks and no RVs. The PHF is 0.90. The

    highway has rolling terrain. What is the likely

    level of service for this section?
