Road Users: Visual Characteristics
Vision is the most important sensory system for the task of
driving a vehicle.
Q: Why?
A: Because drivers rely on their vision to:
1- Detect hazards
2- Make turn decisions
3- Selecting Acceleration/Deceleration Rates
4- Selecting safe Speed
…
Simply all driving decisions are based on their vision

Vehicle Turning Characteristics
 Turning of vehicles occurs either at low speed (< 15 km/hr) or
high speed (> 15 km/hr)
 Low Speed Turning is governed by vehicle geometry.
Each design vehicle has a minimum turning radius that must
be taken into consideration in designing traffic facilities

Vehicle Turning Characteristics
High Speed Turning (Simplified Form):
Due to the fact that superevelevation is typically a small value (3-8% )
and the coefficient of side friction (fl) is also a small value (.25- 0.1),
then the resulting value for the multiplication (0.01 e * fl ) is very low
and negligible; thus, the equation becomes:

Vehicle Turning Characteristics
Example:
Given the design speed for a highway , to be 120 km/hr. Please
determine the minimum radius for a horizontal curves if the
super elevation was limited to be 5%
Answer:
V2/R g = 0.01*5 + fl = 0.05 + 0.085 = 0.135
(120/3.6)^2 / ( R m * 9.81 m/sec2) = 0.135
(33.33)2/(0.135*9.81) = R  R= 838.98  840 m
Tip: What would you need to know if there was no limit for
superelevation.

Types of Traffic Streams:
Uninterrupted:
Uninterrupted flow facilities have no external interruptions to
the traffic stream. Pure uninterrupted flow exists primarily on
freeways, where there are no intersections at grade, traffic
signals, STOP or YIELD signs, or other interruptions external
to the traffic stream itself.
Interrupted:
Interrupted flow facilities are those that incorporate fixed
external interruptions into their design and operation. The most
frequent and operationally significant external interruption is
the traffic signal.

Average annual daily traffic (AADT):
The average 24-hour volume at a given location over a full 365-day year; the
number of vehicles passing a site in a year divided by 365 days.
Average annual weekday traffic (AAWT):
The average 24-hour volume occurring on weekdays over a full 365-day year;
the number of vehicles passing a site on weekdays in a year divided by the
number of weekdays (usually 260).
Average daily traffic (ADT):
The average 24-hour volume at a given location over a defined time period
less than one year; a common application is to measure an ADT for each
month of the year.
Average weekday traffic ( AWT):
The average 24-hour weekday volume at a given location over a defined time

. TTENG 441 Traffic Engineering
Macroscopic Parameters: Hourly Volumes
Daily traffic volumes ( ADT, AADT, ..etc) , are useful for
planning purposes but it can not be used for design and
operation of traffic facilities.
Why?
Because traffic volume varies significantly over the 24 hrs of
the day, and the direction. Traffic facilities must be designed to
accommodate peak traffic volume in the peak direction.
Therefore for design:
We use the DDHV (Directional Design Hourly Volume)
Fall 2021/ ElDessouki 56
. TTENG 441 Traffic Engineering
Macroscopic Parameters: DDHV
Estimation of DDHV
DDHV = AADT * K * D
Where,
AADT : Annual Average Daly Traffic Volume
K : Proportion of the traffic volume occurring during peak hour
D : Direction Proportion
Remember:
AADT is not directional, i.e. traffic flow on both direction of the road is counted
Question:
Why we don’t just count hourly volume and do our design based on that?
Answer:
We usually do our design for future forecast volume. Most future demand forecasting
is carried out in terms of AADT

Traffic Control Devices:
Traffic control devices are the media by which traffic engineers (communicate
with drivers. Virtually every traffic law, regulation, or operating instruction
must be communicated through the use of devices that fall into three broad
categories:
 Traffic markings
 Traffic signs
 Traffic signals

Traffic Control Devices: MUTCD
MUTCD define the Purpose of Traffic Control Devices:
“to promote highway safety and efficiency by providing
for orderly movement of all road users on streets and
highways, throughout the Nation.”
MUTCD define also the five requirements for a traffic
control device to be effective in fulfilling that mission:
1. Fulfill a need
2. Command attention
3. Convey a clear, simple message
4. Command respect of road users
5. Give adequate time for a proper response
Fall 2021/ ElDessouki . TTENG 441 Traffic Engineering 74
MUTCD Core Contents
1. Detailed standards for the physical design of the device,
specifying shape, size, colors, legend types and sizes, and
specific legend.
2. Detailed standards and guidelines on where devices
should be located with respect to the traveled way.
3. Warrants, or conditions, that justify the use of a particular
device.

MUTCD Core Contents: Examples
3. Warrants, or conditions, that justify the use of a particular
device.:
STOP control Warrants (MUTCD 2009) :
Guidance: At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times,
consideration should first be given to using less restrictive measures such as
YIELD signs
The use of STOP signs on the minor-street approaches should be considered if
engineering judgment indicates that a stop is always required because of one
or more of the following conditions:
I. The vehicular traffic volumes on the through street or highway exceed 6,000
vehicles per day;
II. A restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately
observe conflicting traffic on the through street or highway; and/or
III. Crash records indicate that three or more crashes that are susceptible to correction
by the installation of a STOP sign have been reported within a 12-month period,
or that five or more such crashes have been reported within a 2-year period. Such
crashes include right-angle collisions involving road users on the minor-street
approach failing to yield the right-of-way to traffic on the through street or
highway.

MUTCD : Traffic Signs
Types of Traffic Signs:
 Regulatory signs. Regulatory signs convey
information concerning specific traffic regulations.
Regulations may relate to right-of-way, speed limits,
lane usage, parking, or a variety of other functions.
 Warning signs. Warning signs are used to inform
drivers about upcoming hazards that they might not
see or otherwise discern in time to safely react.
 Guide signs. Guide signs provide information on
routes, destinations, and services that drivers may be
seeking.

  • 56. Macroscopic Parameters: Hourly Volumes Daily traffic volumes ( ADT, AADT, ..etc) , are useful for planning purposes but it can not be used for design and operation of traffic facilities. Why? Because traffic volume varies significantly over the 24 hrs of the day, and the direction. Traffic facilities must be designed to accommodate peak traffic volume in the peak direction. Therefore for design: We use the DDHV (Directional Design Hourly Volume) Fall 2021/ ElDessouki 56 . TTENG 441 Traffic Engineering

Warrants, or conditions, that justify the use of a particular device.: STOP control Warrants (MUTCD 2009) : Guidance: At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should first be given to using less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs The use of STOP signs on the minor-street approaches should be considered if engineering judgment indicates that a stop is always required because of one or more of the following conditions: I. The vehicular traffic volumes on the through street or highway exceed 6,000 vehicles per day; II. A restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately observe conflicting traffic on the through street or highway; and/or III. Crash records indicate that three or more crashes that are susceptible to correction by the installation of a STOP sign have been reported within a 12-month period, or that five or more such crashes have been reported within a 2-year period. Such crashes include right-angle collisions involving road users on the minor-street approach failing to yield the right-of-way to traffic on the through street or highway. Fall 2021/ ElDessouki .
