    SR-Code/Section: ______________________________________ Date:__________________

    Direction: Answer the following problems. Box your final answer and round
    it off to two decimal places. Complete solutions are required.

    1. The travel times of six vehicles traveling a one kilometer segment of


    South Luzon Expressway is as follow:

    Vehicle Time
    A 1 min 24 sec
    B 1 min 5 sec
    C 1 min 16 sec
    D 58 sec
    E 1 min 2 sec
    F 1 min 9 sec
    Table I. Travel time of each vehicle

    a. Determine the spot speed and harmonic mean speed in kph. (5 pts.)
    b. If 1500 vehicles passes the said segment in one hour, what is the
    traffic density in vehicles per kilometer? (5 pts.)

    2. Using a surveillance camera, 18 vehicles were observed within 375 m


    section of the innermost lane of the North Luzon Expressway. Determine the
    traffic density of the innermost lane. Also, estimate the average spacing of
    these vehicles. (5 pts.)

    3. Estimate the capacity of a given highway with density equal to 114 veh/km
    during jam condition and with a speed of 85 kph during free flow condition.
    Assume a linear relation between density and speed. (5 pts.)

    4. A census was done within a town at Batangas to determine the number of


    trips per household size by auto ownership. The data obtained from such
    survey are presented in Table IIa. A forecasted number of household and auto
    ownership in a study zone inside the town are presented in Table IIb.
    Solve for: a. Trip rates by auto ownership and household size (5 pts.)
    b. Total number of trips generated in study zone (5 pts.)

    5. A town at Batangas has been divided into three traffic zones. An origin-
    destination survey was conducted earlier this year and yielded the number of
    trips between each zone. Travel times between zones were also determined.
    Provide a trip distribution calculation using the gravity model.
    Assume Kij = 1.15. (10 pts.)

    Zone 1 2 3 Total
    Trip 355 144 301 800
