Problem 2: Planning Methodology or Service Volume Table Application

Printable Version

The HCM conceptual chapters (Chapter 10 for arterials and Chapter 12 for highways) provide tables of service volumes that were developed from the full computational procedures using default values for the operating parameters. In this problem, we will apply the tables to determine a rough estimate of the LOS for the three sections. As an additional exercise, we will project the volumes using assumed growth rates to determine the year in which the volumes will cross the higher LOS thresholds.

The following sub-problems are included in Problem 2. Each sub-problem deals with a separate section of Krome Avenue.

Sub-problem 2a. North Section (Class I Two-lane Highway)

Sub-problem 2b. Center Section (Class I or II Two-lane Highway)

Sub-problem 2c. South Section (Class I Signalized Arterial)

Each of these sub-problems will be discussed separately.
