The given information is:
- 6 lanes (3 lanes in each direction)
- Free flow speed = 45 mph
- Peak hour volume = 4000 veh/h
- 15% trucks, 0% RVs
- PHF = 0.9
- Rolling terrain
To find the LOS, we need to calculate the density using the given flow rate. Then compare the density to the LOS criteria tables to determine the LOS.

Often changes in the direction are necessitated in highway alignment due to various reasons such as topographic considerations, obligatory points.
The geometric design elements pertaining to horizontal alignment of highway should consider safe and comfortable movement of vehicles at the given design speed of the highway.
It is therefore necessary to avoid sudden changes in direction with sharp curves or reverse curves which could not be safely and conveniently negotiated by the vehicles at design speed.
Improper design of horizontal alignment of roads would necessitate speed changes resulting m higher accident rate and increase in vehicle operation cost.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
HEAP SORT ILLUSTRATED WITH HEAPIFY, BUILD HEAP FOR DYNAMIC ARRAYS.
Heap sort is a comparison-based sorting technique based on Binary Heap data structure. It is similar to the selection sort where we first find the minimum element and place the minimum element at the beginning. Repeat the same process for the remaining elements.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

2. Learning Objectives
• Define uninterrupted facilities
• Determine LOS of
– Basic freeway segments
– Multilane highways
3. Uninterrupted Flow Facilities
• Pure uninterrupted facilities occurs on
freeways
• It can also exist on some surface facilities
– Long stretch of rural/suburban areas between
points of fixed interruption
• Example:
– Surface facility more than 2 miles from the
nearest point of fixed interruption can be called as
uninterrupted.
4. Primary Types of Uninterrupted Flow Facilities
• Freeways
– Pure uninterrupted flow
• Multilane Highways
– Sections of multilane highways (four or six lane)
that are more than two miles from the nearest
point of fixed operation
• Rural Two-lane Highways
– Sections of two-lane highways (one lane in each
direction) that are more than two miles from the
nearest point of fixed operation
5. Capacity
• The capacity of a facility is the maximum
hourly rate at which persons or vehicles
reasonably can be expected to traverse a
point or a uniform section of a lane or
roadway during a given time period under
prevailing roadway, traffic, and control
conditions. (HCM 2000)
7. Types of Capacity (HCM 1950)
• Basic Capacity
– Maximum number of passenger cars that can pass a
given point on a lane or roadway during one hour
under the most nearly ideal roadway and traffic
conditions which can possibly be attained
• Possible Capacity
• Practical Capacity
8. Service Flow Rate
• A service flow rate is defined as the maximum
flow rate of flow that can be reasonably
expected on a lane or roadway under
prevailing roadway, traffic, and control
conditions while maintaining a particular level
of service.
10. Service Volume
• Service volume is described as conditions that
existed over a full hour as opposed to the
standard 15 minute period.
• SVi=SFi*PHF
– SVi: Service volume for LOS i (veh/hr)
– SFi: Servce flow rate for LOS i ( veh/hr)
– PHF: Peak hour factor
11. The Level of Service Concept
• A quality measure describing operational
conditions within a traffic stream, generally
in terms of such service measures as speed
and travel time, freedom to maneuver,
traffic interruptions, and comfort and
convenience (HCM 2010).
• Rating scale A-F indicate best to worst
operation

V = hourly volume in the given direction of flow (vph)
PHF = peak-hour factor
N = number of lanes in the given direction of flow
fHV = an adjustment factor for th presence of “heavy” vehicles
fp = an adjustment factor to account for the fact that all drivers
of the facility may not be commuters or regular users.
*Basis for analysis is peak 15 min flow rate.

27. Service Flow Rate and Service
Volume Analysis
SVi = MSFi x PHF x N x fHV x fp
Where:
SVi = service volume over a full peak

MSFi = maximum service flow rate for
level of service “i”, pc/h/ln
*Remove PHF to get SF

freeways, 70 mph for urban based on HCM recommendations).
fLW = adjustment for lane width (if less than 12 ft),mph.
