Capacity, Demand of flow, Degree of saturation, Midblock, Performance measureAbstract
The major goal of this study was to compute the flow appearances of the chosen midblock and to evaluate the road sections using various performance metrics that analyzed these road sections in both current and future conditions. Performance measure of flow parameters was at the operational period of the road. Therefore, this work examined the 2-way 2-lane roads with various performance measures. The capacity of mid blocks was also determined by plotting capacity curves and the level of service arrived and Sidra Intersection 5.1 tools were used for the analysis. All midblock evaluated with different performance measures both in current and future conditions with basic considerations. The analysis was done by adopting Sidra Intersection 5.1 tool and showed that 2-way 2-lane roads in future conditions were studied and the result indicated that their average travel speed, degree of saturation, practical spare capacity, total effective capacity, demand of flow, and level of service (LOS) displayed major changes from the base condition.
