G6-QUIZZES

Question 1

It is a valuable tool for assessing potential impacts of traffic generated by a proposed development to the surrounding transportation system.

Answer 1

TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Question 2

It is used for larger development with significant traffic impacts or at complex location where the recommended improvements require a detailed analysis.

Answer 2

COMPREHENSIVE REPORT

Question 3

This may be used for small development with low traffic impacts at simple location where the recommended improvements can be assessed in a memo format.

Answer 3

MEMO REPORT

Question 4

parts of the Traffic impact assessment report.

Answer 4

• EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• INTRODUCTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION
• FUTURE HIGHWAY AND MUNICIPAL PLANS
• EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITIONS
• BACKGROUND TRAFFIC AND PROJECTION
• DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC
• POST DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC
• INTERSECTION TREATMENT WARRANTS
• ANALYSES
• CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• APPENDICES

Question 5

Once the development traffic has been identified, the projected background traffic, other developments traffic and site generated traffic should be combined for the determined peak periods, and the combined traffic should be projected to at least the 10-year and 20-year horizons from the commencement day of each development stage.

Answer 5

COMBINED TRAFFIC

Question 6

These are criteria used to determine whether specific traffic control measures or modifications are warranted at intersections to address the safety, traffic flow or other concerns.

Answer 6

INTERSECTION TREATMENT WARRANTS

Question 7

This refers to the assessment of the maximum ability of transportation systems such as roads, intersections or highways to handle traffic within a given time frame.

Answer 7

CAPACITY ANALYSIS

Question 8

recommendations of the Traffic Impact Assessment Report

Answer 8

• REQUIRED GEOMETRIC IMPROVEMENTS
• SIGNALIZATION, ROUNDABOUT OR OTHER CONTROL TYPES
• OPERATIONAL AND SAFETY ISSUES
• PEDESTRIAN MITIGATION
• ILLUMINATION
• RIGHT-OF-WAY REQUIREMENTS
• ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Question 9

It is the movement of vehicles, ships, persons, etc., in an area, along astreet, through an air lane, over a water route, etc.

Answer 9

TRAFFIC

Question 10

This is a powerful tool for engineers and planners to determine the possible effects of a project on the transportation and traffic system.

Answer 10

TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Question 11

It is defined as the average speed of all the vehicles passing a point on a highway over some specified time period.

Answer 11

TIME MEAN SPEED

Question 12

It is defined as the average speed of all the vehicles occupying a given section of a highway over some specified time period.

Answer 12

SPACE MEAN SPEED

Question 13

The number of vehicles that pass a point on the roadway (sometimes per lane) during a specific time interval.

Answer 13

FLOW

Question 14

The number of vehicles occupying a given length of roadway at some specified time.

Answer 14

DENSITY

Question 15

It is a mathematical model that formulates the relationships among traffic flow characteristics like density, flow, mean speed of a traffic stream, etc.

Answer 15

MACROSCOPIC TRAFFIC FLOW MODEL

Question 16

This model attempts to analyze the flow of traffic by modeling driver-driver and driver-road interactions within a traffic stream.

Answer 16

MICROSCOPIC TRAFFIC FLOW MODEL

Question 17

It is defined as roadway obstruction caused by overcrowding of vehicles due to inadequate supply of road infrastructure, excessive travel demand, or poor flow of transportation modes.

Answer 17

TRAFFIC CONGESTION

Question 18

The average 24-hour traffic volume at a given location over a full 365-day year, Le. the total number of vehicles passing the site in a year divided by 365.

Answer 18

AVERAGE ANNUAL DAILY TRAFFIC (AADT)

Question 19

What are the types of volume measurements?

Answer 19

• Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT)
• Average Annual Weekday Traffic(AAWT)
• Average Daily Traffic(ADT)
• Average Weekday Traffic(AWT)

Question 20

Give the three main variables (parameters) for traffic analysis of highway performance.

Answer 20

• Flow
• Speed
• Density

Question 21

The Basic Traffic Stream Models

Answer 21

• Speed Density Model
• Flow Density Model

Question 22

List one Traffic Flow Model

Answer 22

• Macroscopic Traffic Flow Model
• Microscopic Traffic Flow Model

Question 23

It involves separating (splitting) the predicted trips from each origin zone to each destination zone into distinct travel modes (e.g., walking, bicycle, driving, train, bus).

Answer 23

MODAL SPLIT

Question 24

It is one of the most important classic models in transport planning because of the key role played by public transport in policy making.

Answer 24

MODE CHOICE

Question 25

Give the 3 factors influencing the mode choice.

Answer 25

• CHARACTERISTIC OF JOURNEY
• CHARACTERISTIC OF TRIP MAKER
• CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRANSPORT FACILITY.

Question 26

This model is traditionally used in transportation planning to forecast car trip demand. It is focused on personal characteristics as determinants of mode choice.

Answer 26

TRIP-END MODAL SPLIT MODELS

Question 27

This model applied after the distribution stage in transportation planning. It allows for the evaluation of policy impacts on modal choice.

Answer 27

TRIP-INTERCHANGE MODAL SPLIT MODELS

Question 28

These models are used to estimate the traffic flows on a network

Answer 28

TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT MODELS
