Time: 90 minutes Date: Note: Answer all questions Answer about four only from the following: lirst GoursG lxamination tlnswersl (40 marks) l. What are the main modes of transport? And briefly describe the effect of distance traveled on the selected travel modes. Modes of Transportation o land (highways and railways) o Airways o Waterways. Pipe ways Transportation modes choose with distance traveled o walking for short distances. car for medium distances o airplane for long distances 2. Define the following terms used in traffic engineering: (a) space mean speed (b) time mean speed (c) clear spacing (d) gap headway Space mean speed: A statistical term denoting an average speed based on the average travel time of vehicles to traverse a segment of roadway. Time mean speed (spot speed): The arithmetic average of speeds of vehicles observed passing a point on a highway; also referred to as the average spot speed. The individual speeds of vehicles passing a point are recorded and averaged arithmetically. Clear spacing Clear spacing is the difference in length between the following vehicle. Gap headway is usually expressed Gap Headway ilt= Gap headway is the difference in time between the time the rear following vehicle. Gap headway is usually expressed in seconds. time the rear of the leading vehicle and the front of the in feet or meter. of the leading vehicle and the front of the 3. Briefly describe the highway classifications with using a suitable graph 1- Arterial highways provide direct service between cities and larger towns (e.g. Freeways). 2- Collector roads: serve small towns directly and connect them to the arterials. 3- Local roads: serve individual farms and other rural land uses and distribute traffic from/to the collector roads.
3 4. Define LOS and describe its types using a suitable graph. Level of service (LOS) Lrill.rgi.,,. Level of service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream and their perception by drivers and/or passengers. speed ratio
