This document discusses highway design speed and level of service. It defines design speed as the maximum safe speed for a road based on its geometric design features. Level of service is a qualitative measure of traffic conditions on a roadway, ranging from free-flowing traffic at LOS A to congested traffic at LOS F. The document provides examples of calculating level of service for a highway based on factors like lane width, access points, and traffic volume using methods from the Highway Capacity Manual. It shows how changes to the road design, such as adding lanes or widening lanes, can improve the level of service.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

2. Design Speed
2
AASHTO defines design speed as follows:
“Design speed is a selected speed used to determine the
various geometric features of the roadway.
Or
“The maximum safe speed that can be maintained over a
specified section of highway when the conditions are so
favorable that the design features of the highway govern”
Or
The service flow rate that is used for design of specific
road facility is known as Design Capacity
3. Design Speed
3
The assumed design speed should be a logical one with
respect to the;
• Topography (Terrain)
• Anticipated operating speed
• The adjacent land use
• Functional classification of the highway.
• Terrain Types?
• Level, Rolling, Mountainous,?
• Pedestrian?
4. In selection of design speed, every effort should be made to attain
a desired combination of safety, mobility, and efficiency within the
constraints of ,
environmental quality
Economics
• Aesthetics, and social or political impacts.
Once the design speed is selected, all of the pertinent highway
features should be related to it to obtain a balanced design.
Design Speed
4
5. Capacity is defined as the maximum number of vehicles,
passengers, or the like, per unit time, which can be accommodated
under given conditions with a reasonable expectation of
occurrence
Design Capacity
5
Capacity is independent of the demand. It speaks about the
physical amount of vehicles and passengers a road can afford. It
does not depend on the total number of vehicles demanding
service.
On the other hand, it depends on traffic conditions, geometric
design of the road etc. For example,
a curved road has lesser capacity compared to a straight road.
Capacity is expressed in terms of units of some specific thing (car,
people, etc.), so it also does depend on the traffic composition.
6. 1. Traffic conditions:
It refers to the traffic composition in the road such as the mix of
cars, trucks, buses etc in the stream. It also include peaking
characteristics, proportions of turning movements at intersections
and the like.
2. Road way characteristics:
This points out to the geometric characteristics of the road. These
include lane width, shoulder width, lane configuration, horizontal
alignment and vertical alignment.
3. Control conditions: This primarily applies to surface facilities and
often refer to the signals at intersections etc.
Design Capacity

7. Factors Affecting Highway Capacity
1. Lane width
2. Width of shoulder
3. Lateral clearance
4. Commercial vehicles
5. Road alignment and geometry (curves, Super elevation etc)
6. Existence of intersections.
7. One way or two way traffic and number of lanes
8. Drivers and vehicular characteristics
9. Single type or mixed traffic
10. Flow speed
11. Weather condition
12. Road Side Parking
13. Presence of pedestrians
Design Capacity

8. Flow Rate/ Hourly Volume
8
rate of flow q = number of vehicles during observation veh/h
observation time
Flow is one of the most common traffic parameters. Flow is
the rate at which vehicles pass a given point on the roadway, and is
normally given in terms of vehicles per hour.
10. Types of Traffic Volumes
10
Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT)
Average 24-hour traffic volume at a location over a
full 365-day year, which is the total number of
vehicles passing the location divided by 365.
Average Annual Weekday Traffic AAWT)
Average 24-hour traffic volume on weekdays over a
full year, which is the total weekday traffic volume
divided by 260
11. Types of Traffic Volumes
11
Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
Average 24-hour traffic at a location for any
period less than a year (e.g. six months, a
season, a month, a week or even two days)
Average Weekday Traffic (AWT)
Average 24-hour traffic volume on weekdays
for any period less than a year
12. Peak Hour Volume
12
Peak hour volumes are sometimes estimated from
projections of the AADT.
Sometimes PHV is referred as “directional design hour
volume”
(DDHV) DDHV = AADT * K * D Where:
K – proportion of daily traffic occurring during the peak
hour
D – proportion of peak hour traffic traveling in the peak
direction of flow
16. Capacity & LOS
16
Capacity analysis: tries to give a clear
understanding of how much traffic a given transportation facility
can accommodate.
Level of service:tries to answer how good is
the present traffic situation on a given facility. Thus it gives a
qualitative measure of traffic, where as capacity analysis gives a
quantitative measure of a facility.
18. Ideal Conditions For LOS Determination
18
Chapter 21 of the Highway Capacity Manual For rural and suburban
multilane highways Assumptions (Ideal Conditions, all other
conditions reduce capacity):
Only passenger cars
No direct access points
A divided highway
FFS > 60 mph
19. Base Conditions For LOS Determination
19

2 ft. ( 0.6 m) minimum median lateral clearance
12 ft. (3.6m ) minimum lane width
Only passengers cars in traffic stream
Five or more lane in each traffic stream
2 mi (3.2 km) or greater interchange spacing
Drivers should be road familiar
20. Base Conditions For LOS Determination
20
Base Conditions For Multilane Highways OR Highways
use BFFS = 60 mi/h (100 km/h) for highways in urban areas
use BFFS = 65 mi/h (105 km/h) for highways in Rural areas
Use BFFS = Posted speed in mi/h + 5 mi/h

divided 4-lane highway for the following
parameters.
BFFS= 60 mph, LW = 10 ft, TLC = 10 ft
20access points/ mile, for 10% heavy trucks
on rolling terrain, base volume is 2,500
veh/hour in one direction , PHF = 0.9, Non-
familiar users
fp = 0.85
23. Example (LOS Determination)
23
Source: HCM, 2000
Lane Width:
• Base Conditions: 12 foot lanes
How much does use of 10-foot lanes decrease
free flow speed?
Flw = 6.6 mph
24. Example (LOS Determination)
24
Lateral Clearance
Distance to fixed objects Assumes
>= 6 feet from right edge of travel lanes to obstruction
>= 6 feet from left edge of travel lane to object in median
TLC = LCR + LCL
TLC = total lateral clearance in feet
LCR = lateral clearance from right edge of travel lane
LCL= lateral clearance from left edge of travel lane
Source: HCM, 2000
26. Example (LOS Determination)
26
Source: HCM, 2000
fm: Accounts for friction between opposing directions of traffic in
adjacent lanes for undivided
No adjustment for divided, fm = 0
27. Example (LOS Determination)
27
Source: HCM, 2000
Fa accounts for interruption due to access points along
the facility
Example: if there are 20 access points per mile, what is
the reduction in free flow speed?
fa = 5.0 mph
28. Example (LOS Determination)
28
Source: HCM, 2000
BFFS = free flow under ideal conditions
FFS = free flow adjusted for actual conditions
From previous examples:
FFS = 60 mph – 6.6 mph - 0.4 mph – 0 – 5.0 mph =
48 mph ( reduction of 12 mph)
29. Example (LOS Determination)
29
Calculate Flow Rate
Heavy vehicles affect traffic & Slower stream
larger fhv increases number of passenger vehicles to account for presence of
heavy trucks
30. Example (LOS Determination)
30

Rolling: combination that causes heavy vehicles to reduce speed
substantially below P.C. (but not crawl speed for any length)
Mountainous: Heavy vehicles at crawl speed for significant length
or frequent intervals
31. Example (LOS Determination)
