    CHAPTER 2 AND 3

    CE 313
    BY: ENGR. JOBERT PASTORAL
    SUPPLY AND DEMAND

    When the transportation cost per mile, denoted as C,


    decreases, more people are likely to use the transportation
    system due to the lower cost. As a result, the volume of users,
    represented as V, is expected to increase.
    SUPPLY AND DEMAND

    If a bridge is built, people will use it, but the amount of traffic
    will depend on cost. The cost to cross the bridge will depend
    on the bridge toll and the travel time for cars and trucks. If only
    a few vehicles cross, little time is lost waiting at a toll booth or
    in
    congested traffic. However, as more and more cars and
    trucks use the bridge, the time required to cross will
    increase unless automated toll booths are installed. Lines
    will be long at the toll booth; there might also be traffic
    congestion at the other end. The curve in Figure 2.3
    illustrates how the cost of using the bridge could increase
    as the volume of traffic increases, assuming that the toll is
    $0.25/mile. (Time is Money)
    SUPPLY AND DEMAND

    The two curves (Figures 2.1 and 2.3) determine what


    volume (V) can be expected to use the bridge. This
    value will be found where the demand curve
    intersects the supply curve as shown in Figure 2.4,
    because any other value of V will create a shift in
    demand either upward or downward, until the
    equilibrium point is reached.
    OVERALL MAXIMUM GROSS WEIGHT
    KINEMATICS DERIVATION
    MINIMUM RADIUS DERIVATION
    DEGREE OF CURVATURE DERIVATION
    SAMPLE PROBLEM 1 (SI UNITS)
    A highway curve has a super elevation of 7 degrees Find the radius of the curve so that there will be no lateral
    pressure between the tires and the roadway at a speed of 40 mph?
    SAMPLE PROBLEM 2 (SI UNITS)
    A ramp from NLEX going to Angeles City connects with a local road forming a T- intersection. The
    design speed on the expressway is 48 kph. An additional lane is provided on the local road to allow
    vehicles on the ramp to turn right onto the local road without stopping. The turning road has a
    mountable curb which will provide for a one-lane, one-way operation with provision for passing a stalled
    vehicle. If the curve has a super-elevation of 0.08 and a frictional factor of 0.16, compute the minimum
    radius of the turning road.

    STOPPING DISTANCE DERIVATION
    SAMPLE PROBLEM 3
    Calculate the stopping sight distance on a highway at an
    ascending gradient of 2% for a design speed of 90 kph with a
    total reaction time of 2.5 sec. and a coefficient of friction of
    0.42.
    SAMPLE PROBLEM 4 (ENGLISH UNITS)

    The design speed of a multilane highway is 60 mi/h. What is the


    minimum stopping sight distance that should be provided on
    the road if (a) the road is level and (b) the road has a maximum
    grade of 4%? Assume the perception-reaction time 2.5 sec

    SAMPLE PROBLEM 5
    SAMPLE PROBLEM 6
    ROLLING RESISTANCE

    There are forces within the vehicle itself that offer resistance to
    motion. These forces are due mainly to frictional effect on
    moving parts of the vehicle, but they also include the frictional
    slip between the pavement surface and the tires. The sum effect
    of these forces on motion is known as rolling resistance. The
    rolling resistance depends on the speed of the vehicle and the
    type of pavement. Rolling forces are relatively lower on smooth
    pavements than on rough pavements
