Group 8 Flashcards
The phase of engineering that focuses on designing roads and streets, as well as
creating rules to make sure traffic and transportation run smoothly.
Traffic Engineering
What are the types of parking?
-On street parking
-Off street parking
It is a traffic management strategy that adjusts traffic signals to maximize the flow of
vehicles and reduce waiting times
Traffic Signal Optimization
What type of highway capacity in which the road’s maximum capacity refers to the highest number of vehicles it can handle without causing significant traffic problems, safety risks, or limiting drivers’ freedom to move?
Practical Capacity
What is the normally acceptable value degree of saturation when designing urban roads?
≤ 𝟎. 𝟕𝟓
This gathering method involved machines placed on roads or walkways to count the number of vehicles or people passing by. They provide data about how much traffic there is and how it moves
Traffic Counters
This refers to the vehicle’s speed at a particular section of the road at a given moment which is essential for designing road curves, analyzing accidents, and location of traffic signs
Spot Speed
This is done to analyze the traffic characteristics
Traffic Studies
It refers to the management and control of traffic on roadways to ensure safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
Traffic Operations
What are traffic lights, speed bumps, and lane markings that help guide and manage
traffic called?
Control Devices and Systems
It is the average speed of vehicle over a certain road length at any time is known as
Space Mean Speed
A type of on-street parking where vehicles are parked at a right angle to the road’s direction.
90 Degree Parking
A diagram in traffic engineering where it shows the graphical representations of traffic accidents, depicting vehicle positions, road characteristics, and related elements.
Collision Diagram
. A type of on-street parking where a vehicle is parked at an angle relative to the road’s alignment.
30 Degree Parking
.An origin-destination data gathering methods whereas video cameras are strategically positioned at important sites to record live video of the movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
Video Surveillance
