QIIESTTON 2

Supposed that for

a certain pair of origin and destination there are 3 routes to choose from,

with the trip characteristics as listed in Table Q2. Considering that a total of 10,000 trips are
generated in the moming

of a typical working day, under free/multipath traffic assignment,

r--:-

estimate the distribution of traffic to each of the route based on:

a)

multinomial logit model

QUESTTON 4

Refer to Figure Q4 where points A, B, C and

are zone centroids while points 1 thru 7 are

nodes or junctions with the given links and impedance, as well as direction of the traffic flow.

You are required to assess the network, i.e. to find the shortest paths for trips originating from

A and D. Show complete calculation only for trips originating from A.

BAA/1415I/BAA44I3

One of the effective measures to deal with heavy right or left turning movement is the

application of restriction of turning movement to smoothen the traffic flow. Illustrate in

sketches how the concept is implemented in the following conditions.

Heavy right turn from major to minor roads

Heavy righ t turn from minor to major roads

The basic concept in transportation engineering is to move people rather than vehicle.
Justifu how we can move the same number of people but with less congestion on the road

with the following strategies:
