Abstract

Civil Engineering
Level of Service (LOS), Traffic Characteristics
Traffic characteristics of selected freeway segments within Makurdi metropolis were studied to determine the level of service (LOS) for the selected routes. The roads studied were Makurdi-Jos road (Route 1), Iyorchia Ayu road (Route 2) and Makurdi-Otukpo road (Route 3). Traffic count to determine the traffic volume/flow was undertaken for a period of seven days with spot speed along the routes obtained with the help of speed gun. Results obtained shows the highest volume of traffic along the routes experience during the morning peak of 7:00 AM TO 9:00 AM and evening peak between 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on week days. The density speed linear models for the routes was found to linear for each lane route which were u=91.14-1.86k, u=88.08-1.69k, u=68.70-0.61k, u=58.87-0.42k, u=74.69-0.91k, ,and u=71.57-0.87k for Route 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B respectively. It was also found that Route 1A and 1B has an average arterial speeds of 57.4 km/hr and 57.9 km/hr with free flow speeds of 91.2 km/hr and 88.1 km/hr respectively and this implies that the routes have average arterial speeds which are a little more than 50% but less than 70% of their free flow speeds thereby describing it as LOS C. In the same vain, routes 2A and 2B have arterial speeds of 44.8 km/hr and 41.5 km/hr with free flow speeds of 113 km/hr and 140 km/hr respectively which amount to about 70% of their free flow speeds hence, LOS on the routes is LOS B. Also routes 3A and 3B have speeds of 49.9 km/hr and 47 km/hr with free flow speeds of 82 km/hr and 82 km/hr respectively which are greater than 50% of their free flow speeds but not up 70% hence their LOS is described as LOS C. The road links LOS should be maintained and care should be taken not to worsen the level of service within Makurdi metropolis.
