1. Design professionals should also anticipate working with practitioners from planning, transit, freight, and TIM (Traffic Incident Management) as well as staff from other agencies in order to fully identify, prioritize ,and incorporate operations needs into the infrastructure design. There are several entry points for integrating M&O strategies into the traditional project design process as described in this primer. Designing for operations is typically reflected in increased or formalized collaboration between designers and operators and the development of design guidelines and procedures that reflected a broad range of operational considerations.

2. The template will be systematically used in future resurfacing and other projects. Transit operators understand best which strategies work best for certain corridors. Transit agencies should be engaged in design to help select the most appropriate features that allow for the maximum efficiency of the facility .Rather than retrofitting an existing freeway or arterial ,with these types of strategies on a case by-case basis, they should be considered as part of an overall corridor management strategy and mainstreamed into the design process.

3. Write the formula for calculating the waiting places number to maintenance post

where,X – general number of work posts in workshop (Table 2.9).

1. Systematic consideration of M&O strategies during the design process is at the core of designing for operations. Transportation systems management and operations is defined by the legislation “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21^st Centuty” (MAP-21) as the of “integrated strategies” to optimize the performance of exiting infrastructure through the implementation of multimodal and intermodal cross-jurisdictional systems, services, and projects designed to preserve capacity and improve the security, safety, reliability of the transportation system.

2. During the design of a transportation facility, the transit rider must be considered just like the motorist. Transit provides the ability to increase the throughput of facility, thereby improving overall facility operations. There are opportunities on both freeway and arterial facilities to incorporate transit operations considerations into design one high profile application for transit on freeways is bus-on-shoulder (BOS) on bus-only shoulders. There are documented examples of BOS in the U.S. and the is a leader in BOS operations with more BOS lane miles than the rest of the country combined.

3. Write the formula for calculating the storage place number

Storage place number is determined by following formula:

where

N_С – car visits in a day, (N_С=N_СТОd/Д_РАБ.Г.);

Т_ПР – average time car stayed at workshop after servicing (4 hours) [2, page 231];

Т_В – post working hours in a day, hours.

1. Successful M&O practices positively impact mobility, accessibility, safety, reliability, community life, economic vitality, andenvironmental quality and help transportation agencies meet their customers’ needs. In addition , many agencies have found that the benefits of MO strategies can significantly outweigh the costs (versus traditional strategies).Proactive management of transportation systems in real-time and all hours of the day not only represents the future of operations but is essential to responding effectively to variable traffic conditions caused by events such as incidents, work zones, and weather effects.

2. Designers must be prepared and trained for this new environment in transportation as ATM installations may require changes to the geometry of the roadway. This way include the design of gantries to support both static sign and changeable lane use control signs for ATM applications. Lectures identifies elements to consider during design that can impact ATM operations. It also shows potential opportunities for designers to structure their roadway design (or redesign) to allow for more lost-effective implementation of ATM strategies in the future. Some of these design consideration apply to multiple strategies.

3. Write the formula for calculating the number of places in a car parking

the number of places in a car parking

hence,

where

330 – car visits to anti-corrosion and rust protection in a year.
