Traffic Operations Analysis Flashcards
(24 cards)
How many major functions the National Incident Management System (NIMS) defined for the Incident Command System (ICS)?
5
PHF range for most urban roads
0.85 to 0.95
Which report document decision-making process and describe how performance system will be measured?
Validation plan
First step in roundabout capacity analysis in automobile mode?
Convert movement demand volumes to flow rates
Purpose of main street from a community’s perspective
Leverage a community’s visibility to pass-by traffic facilitate commerce
Increasing driveways from 10 to 30 driveways per mile would increase crash rates by
70%
Flow rate used for basic freeway segments with free-flow speeds of 70 to 75 mph?
2400 pcphpl
Input for bike compatibility index
Lateral distance
Travel speeds
Vehicle types
Key factors in supporting pedestrian realm in shared street settings.
Context sensitivity and legibility
Factors influencing pedestrian satisfaction with sidewalk or crossing
Delay and proximity to other modes of transportation
Used as a proxy to measure connectivity in multimodal environments
Intersection density
Roundabout capacity analysis in automobile mode
Convert movement demand volumes to flow rates
Determine entry flow rates
Select analysis method
Calculate entry capacity
Analyze performance measures
Consider adjustments
Evaluate alternatives
Characteristic related to traffic flow often difficult to measure accurately
Density
Factor used as surrogate for density in traffic flow analysis
Occupancy
Mitigation strategies considered for problematic weaving segments
Constructing collector-distributor road where weaving occurs
Reconfiguring location of ramp terminals to lengthen weave section
Continuing auxiliary lane beyond exit point
Increasing driveways from 10 to 30 driveways per mile would increase rates by
70%
Parking duration
Short term: 0-4 hours
Medium term: 4-8 hours
Long term: More than 8 hours
Fundamental element in design of parking facilities for user acceptance.
Wayfinding
Elements included in Transportation Management Plan (TMP) for significant projects
Temporary Traffic Control plan (TTC)
Transportation Operation (TO)
Public Involvement (PI)
Elements that must be included in Transportation Management Plan (TMP) for insignificant project
Temporary Traffic Control Plan (TTC)
System that includes emergency incidents of all types and scales accompanying ICS
The National Incident Management System and Incident Command System (NIMS)
Measuring width of weaving segment
of freeway lanes beyond merging/diverging points
# of continuous lanes between entry and exit gore areas including acceleration/deceleration lanes
When designing and implementing a new system, which report documents the decision making process and describes the system used?
Concept of Operations (ConOps)
When designing and implementing a new system, which report documents the decision making process and describes the system will be tested?
