Test 2 Paper 1
Traffic Engineering and Management Roll No.
Q.1 How would you differentiate between freeway, multilane highway and
two-lane two-way highway in the context of capacity analysis? In which
category you will include section of University Road between NED
University and NIPA chowrangi.
Q.2 What are different base conditions which usually do not prevail and
therefore adjustments are made while performing capacity analysis?
Q.3 Define ATS and PTSF, What are their significances?
Q.4 What are different strategies that reduce the exposure of road user
and hence helpful in reducing congestion and road accidents.
Q.5 A long section of suburban freeway is to be designed on level terrain. A
level section of 5 miles is however, followed by a 5 % grade, 1.5miles
in length. If the DDHV is (4000+Your Roll No.) veh/hr with 10% trucks
and 3% RV’s, how many lanes will be needed on the a) upgrade, b)
downgrade, and c) level terrain section to provide for a minimum level
of service C? Assume that base conditions of lane width and lateral
clearance exist and that interchange density is less than 0.50 /mi. The
PHF =0.82. Also comment on the results as well.

Test 2 Paper 2
Traffic Engineering and Management Roll No.
Q.1 How would you differentiate between design analysis and operational
analysis within capacity analysis?
Q.2 Suppose you have performed a capacity analysis for a particular
section of a freeway, whose free-flow speed was 80mph, and the result
you have obtained is LOS D. If authorities want to operate this facility
at LOS B, what measures you will suggests to them?
Q.3 What is Passenger car equivalent? On what factors it depends.
Q.4 What are different measures you would suggest to transport Law
makers in order to reduce injury severity during accidents.
Q.5 A class I two lane two way highway segment of 20 miles in rolling
terrain has a base free flow speed of 60mi/hr. it consist of 12’ lanes,
and 4’ clear shoulder on each side of the roadway. There are on
average 10 access points per mile along the segment with 50% no
passing zone, current traffic on the facility is (350+Your Roll No.)
veh/hr (total,both ways) including 15% trucks and 5%Rvs. The
directional distribution is 60/40 with PHF 0.92. For the current condition
described, at what level of service would the facility be operated in a
direction of 60% traffic. Also comment on the result as well.
