TEST QUESTION
Subject: CE 154- Principles of Transportation Engineering
Midterm Examination 1st Semester SY 2023-2024

I. True or False. Write T if the statement is true and write F if the statement is false on the blank
provided for.

T 1. More and more government organizations, universities, researchers, consultants, and private
industrial groups around the world are becoming truly multi-modal in their orientation and are opting a
systematic approach to transportation problems.

__F 2. Any product or system that moves people and goods from one place to another does not fall
under the scope of transportation engineering.
T 3. The planning aspects of transport engineering relate to urban planning, and involve technical
forecasting decisions and political factors.

F 4. Technical forecasting of passenger travel usually involves an urban transportation planning

model, requiring the estimation of trip generation (how many trips for what purpose), trip distribution
(destination choice, where is the traveler going), mode choice (what mode is being taken), but excluding
route assignment (which streets or routes are being used).

T 5. Passenger trips are the focus of transport engineering because they often represent the peak
of demand on any transportation system.
F 6. Jeepneys are the popular and iconic public utility vehicle. They have become a symbol of the
Philippine culture. Another popular mode of public transportation in the country is the motorized
tricycles, especially common in larger urban and rural areas

__F 7. The Philippines has four railway lines: Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1, Manila
Light Rail Transit System Line 2, Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 3, and the PNR Metro
Commuter Line operated by the Philippine National Bank.
F 8. There are also steam engines found in Visayas which operate sugar mills such as Central
Azucarera. Taxis and buses are also important modes of public transport in rural areas.

F 9. The Philippines has 12 international airports and has more than 20 major and minor
domestic airports serving rural areas only in the country.

F 10. The importance of transportation is that it enables trade, commerce, and communication that
establish civilization. It is good planning that manages traffic flows and enables the disturbed and
steady movement from one place to another.

II. Multiple Choice. Choose the appropriate letter of your answer from the given choices below and
write it in capital form on the blank provided for.

B 1. Involves all of the activities required to understand the situation that gave rise to the
perceived need for a transportation improvement. Information about surrounding area, its people and
their travel habits may be obtained.

D 2. Describes the problem in terms of objectives to be accomplished by the project. Objectives

are statements of purpose such as to reduce traffic congestion, to improve safety, etc.

F 3. Is the process of determining the number of trips that will begin or end in each traffic analysis
zone within a study area.

H 4. Is that aspect of the demand MODAL analysis process that determines the number (or
percentages) of trips between zones.

TEST QUESTION

J 5. Conducted to estimate the distribution of speeds of vehicles in a stream of traffic at

particular location

A 6. In provincial areas not served or partially served by bus liners, you can ride this vehicle for
hire for a fixed rate.
C 7. These modes of transport come in a variety of designs. Some have sidecar with three
wheels while others are fitted with jeepney-like chassis and have four wheels (motorela).

E 8. The roads leading to the hinterlands and mountain barangays in the Philippines are very
steep or aren’t paved at all. Generally, the only means of transportation to these areas are motorcycle
taxis or____________.

G 9. These are non-motorized versions of the tricycle or motorela. The driver pedals the bicycle
fitted with a sidecar to bring or fetch passengers within a small area.

I 10. This colorful, iconic mode of transport is the hallmark of Philippine transportation. Every
foreign traveler should at least try this ride and experience how it feels to ride a sometimes cramped,
open-window transport where passengers pass around fare or change to and from the driver, and say
either “Bayad Po” (here’s the fare) and “Para Po” (please pull over).

A. Van B. Situation Definition C. Tricycle D. Problem Definition

E. Habal-habal F. Travel Demand Model G. Pedicab H. Modal Split

I. Jeepney J. Spot Speed Studies

III. Enumeration. Enumerate the data that are asked for.

a. To enable the Government to efficiently manage and regulate the industry and to allow operational efficiency
of the fleet, consolidation is a key strategic intervention. Therefore, consolidation will take place on
three levels, state these three levels.

1. Consolidation of number of operators (encourage consolidation through regulation),

2. Consolidation of number of franchises (“one route-one franchise principle”),
3. Consolidation of public transport fleet (move towards higher-capacity vehicles).

b. What are the 10 common modes of transportation in the Philippines?

1. Jeepneys and Multicabs

2. Buses
3. Taxis
4. MRT / LRT
5. Vans for Hire or V-Hires
6. Motorcycles with Passenger Compartment
7. Motorcycle Taxis (Habal-habal)
8. Bicycles with Sidecar (Pedicab or Trisikad)
9. Ferry Boats (Ro-Ro) / Pump boats (Bancas)
10. Airplanes
