Lab 4 - Junction Capacity OEL2
JUNCTION CAPACITY
TITLE
Introduction
Level 2 laboratory activities refer to the condition where only the problem
is guided and given. Students are required to find the ways & means and
provide the answers to the given assignment using the group creativity
and innovativeness. The activity will enable the students to appreciate
independent learning and prepare them for a much harder task of open
ended laboratory activities.
Traffic flows can be reasonably well when the rate of flow is less than at
capacity, but excessive delay and congestion can occur when the rate of
flow is at or near capacity. In this laboratory activity students will be
exposed to the appropriate methods to carry out Traffic Volume Study.
Objectives
The objective of the test is:
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the laboratory activities, students would be able to:
Theoretical Background
important to make sure this problem can reduce. This can be determined
by finding the Level of Service (LOS). Level of Service (LOS) uses
qualitative measures that characterized both operational condition within
a traffic stream. The concept of LOS at unsignalized intersections is the
resulting stopped delay per vehicle which gives indications of driver
frustration, discomfort, lost travel time and fuel consumption.
Analysis of Result
Students have to acquire ways to present collected data and to determine
important parameters from the study.
All references have to be listed using standard format or given by the
lecturer.
