Determine the adjusted saturation flow rate for a lane group comprised of one lane for the through movement, under the following conditions:

Base rate = 1900 pc/h/ln
Lane width = 11 ft
Heavy vehicles = 4% of the traffic stream
Approach grade = +3%
No on-street parking
No bus stops
Bicycle and pedestrian traffic conflicting with this lane group is negligible
Intersection is in a central business district

What will be an ideal response?


Use Equation 10.8 to determine saturation flow rate:



so = 1900 (pc/h/ln)

N = 1

fw = 1.00 (Table 10.7)

fHV = use Equation 10.9:



fg = use Equation 10.10:



fp = no on-street parking, 1.00

fa = 0.90

fbb = no bus stops, 1.00

fLu = one lane, 1.00

fRT = 1.0

fLT = 1.0

fLpb = 1.0

fRpb = 1.0
