UPPSC AE (CE) Quiz 44 for AE & JE Exams Exams

Question 1

Overspeed and delay studies on a preselected section of a Highway are conducted by

Question 2

What will be the theoretical maximum capacity for a single lane of highway given that the speed of the traffic stream is 85 kmph?

Question 3

A transportation trip survey was undertaken between private car, and public car transportation. The proportion of those using private cars is 0.45. While using the public transport, the further choices available are Metro Rail and Mono Rail, out of which commuting by a Mono Rail has a proportion of 0.55. In such a situation, the choice of interest in using a Metro Rail, Mono Rail and private car would be respectively.

Question 4

The following statements are made related to the lengths of turning lanes at signalized intersections
(i) 1.5 times the average number of vehicles (by vehicle type) that would store in turning lane per cycle during the peak hour.
(ii) 2 times the average number of vehicles (by vehicle type) that would store in turning lane per cycle during the peak hour.
(iii) Average number of vehicles (by vehicle type) that would store in the adjacent through lane per cycle during the peak hour.
(iv) Average number of vehicles (by vehicle type) that would store in all lanes per cycle during the peak hour.
As per the IRC recommendations, the correct choice for design length of storage lanes is

Question 5

For designing a 2-phase fixed type signal at intersection having North-South and East-West road where only straight-ahead traffic is permitted, the following data is available

Total time lost per cycle is 9 sec. The cycle length (in s) as per Webster’s method is

Question 6

Choose correct statement regarding traffic volume study

1) Pedestrian traffic volume is not considered in traffic volume study.

2) This study is used to analysis traffic patterns.

3) It is a quantity measure of flow.

Assuming coefficient of friction 0.5.

Question 8

If Hourly volume of traffic is 6 times the maximum 5 min traffic then For 5 minute traffic peak hourly volume is

Question 9

Which of the following are the correct requirements for designing a rotary intersection in rural area as per IRC recommendations?

i. Minimum radius of central island should be 30 m

ii. Maximum traffic from all legs is 3000 vehicles per hour

iii. Design speed is adopted as 30 kmph

Question 10

A roundabout is provided with an average entry width of 8.4 meter, width of weaving section as 14 m and length of the weaving section between channelizing islands as 35 m. The crossing traffic and total on the weaving section are 1000 and 2000 PCU per hour respectively. The nearest rounded capacity of the roundabout (in PCU per hour) is:
