Sub-problem 1a: Traffic Flow Patterns
Variation in volumes
Variations in the PHF
Speed-flow relationship
Flow-Occupancy
Sub-problem 1b: Basic Freeway Section Analysis (Eastbound Section)
Selection of Appropriate Data
Basic Freeway Analysis
Sub-problem 1c: Analysis of the Westbound Freeway Section
Number of Travel Lanes
Truck Climbing Lanes
Effect of Grades on Analyses
