    This document contains 4 problems related to volume studies in traffic engineering. Problem 1 provides traffic volume data over a 15-minute interval and asks to estimate the total volume for the two-lane roadway as well as determine the peak hour and calculate the peak hour factor. Problem 2 asks to estimate vehicle miles traveled using provided variation factors. Problem 3 provides queue length data from a signalized intersection and asks to calculate the average time spent in queue and control delay per vehicle. Problem 4 provides daily and monthly traffic count data from an urban station and asks to calibrate the daily and monthly variation factors.

    Problem set 3: Volume studies

    Problem 1
    The following data (Table 1, below) was collected during a study of two arterial lanes. Estimate
    the continuous 15-minute counts for the two-lane roadway as a whole. Find the peak hour, and
    compute the PHF.

    6:45-6:55 110
    7:00-7:10 105

    Problem 2
    Estimate the VMT for a section of the state highway system represented by the variation
    factors (table 8-13). The following coverage counts are available for the locations within the
    section?


    Problem 3
    The following data (Table 2) was collected during a control delay study on a signalized
    intersection approach. The cycle length of the signal is 90 s. a) estimate the time spent in the
    queue for the average vehicle, b) estimate the average control delay per vehicle of this
    approach. (CF = +4s)

    Table 2



    Problem 4
    The following control counts were made at an urban count station to develop daily and monthly
    variation factors. Calibrate these factors given the data shown below.
