Civil Engineering Traffic & Force Analysis

1. The document presents information about traffic flow rates in different sections of a downtown road network. A system of equations is set up and solved using matrix algebra to determine the minimum traffic flow rates required in each section. 2. A diagram shows a 150kg crate suspended by three cables, and the forces on the crate are analyzed. The position and unit vectors for each cable are calculated. 3. The force equations for the crate are set up in a matrix equation and solved to determine the tension forces in each cable.

PART 1

Figure 1: section of the road network in the downtown area

Section A

Traffic in = 𝑥1 + 𝑥2

Traffic out = 400 + 225

∴ 𝒙𝟏 + 𝒙𝟐 = 625vph

Section B

Traffic in = 350 + 125

Traffic out = 𝑥1 + 𝑥4

∴ 𝒙𝟏 + 𝒙𝟒 = 475vph

Section C

Traffic in = 𝑥3 + 𝑥4

Traffic out = 600 + 300

∴ 𝒙𝟑 + 𝒙𝟒 = 900vph

Section D

Traffic in = 800 + 250

Traffic out = 𝑥2 + 𝑥3

∴ 𝒙𝟐 + 𝒙𝟑 = 1050vph

𝑥1 + 𝑥2 = 625

𝑥1 + 𝑥4 = 475

𝑥3 + 𝑥4 = 900

𝑥2 + 𝑥3 = 1050

Using above row operations

𝑥1 + 𝑥4 = 475

𝑥2 - 𝑥4 = 150

𝑥3 + 𝑥4 = 900

The road sections are one way, using pervious equations

𝑥1 + 𝑥4 = 475 1

𝑥2 - 𝑥4 = 150 2

𝑥3 + 𝑥4 = 900 3

Here road sections are one way

𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , 𝑥3 , 𝑥4 ≥ x

From 3 for x, to minimum 𝑥4 has to be maximum and equal,

𝑥4 ≤ 900

From 1 the maximum value of 𝑥4 is 475. Hence, from 3 the minimum of 𝑥3 is,

𝑥3 = -475 +900

𝑥3 = 425

Hence, at least 425vph should be allowed on the Monroe street.

Apply equation “2”


𝑥2 =625

Hence, at least 625vph should be allowed on the Hogan street.

Apply equation “1”


𝑥1 =0

Hence, at least 0vph should be allowed on the Duval street.

liquid flow.
