What is Transportation?
This refers to the direct connection to abutting lands and land uses provided by roadways
What is Accessibility?
How many through traffic conflicts in the Harrison-Magsaysay intersection?
It is an important transportation consideration because it relates to safety, time, comfort, convenience, and economics
What is Speed?
The average speed of all vehicles passing at some designated point along the roadway
What is Time-mean speed?
This person is responsible for the development, structural design, construction, and maintenance of the fixed facilities of transportation systems.
What is a Civil Engineer?
Closely related to design and involves all aspects of the building process, beginning with preparation surface, placement of the pavement material, and preparation of the final roadway for use by traffic.
What is Construction?
Average of 24 – hour counts collected every day of the year and used in several traffic and transportation analyses for
What is AADT? (Average Annual Daily Traffic)
This is made by measuring the individual speeds of a sample of the vehicle passing a given spot on a street or highway
What is Spot Speed?
Type of flow regulated by vehicle-vehicle interactions and interactions between vehicles and the roadway
What is uninterrupted flow?
Transportation system that includes pipelines, elevators, and escalators as well as belts and cables for recreation.
What is a Continuous Flow Transport System
Nodes where travel and shipment begins or ends
What are terminals?
Maximum no. of vehicles that pass a point on a highway during a period of 60 consecutive minutes
What is Peak-Hour Volume?
These are put in place to balance road safety with travel time and mobility
What are Speed limits?
Number of observed vehicles at a particular point of a highway per hour
What is traffic flow?
They study the complexities of human performance as vehicle operators and passengers.
Who are Human Factor Specialists?
A set of interrelated parts, called components, that perform a number of functions in order to achieve common goals
What is a System?
What is the equation that describes the proportion of daily traffic at a site that occurs during the peak period?
K=DHV/AADT
What is the second step for conducting a spot speed study?
