An-Najah National University Engineering Collage Civil Engineering Department Traffic Impact StudyCase: Al-Irsal Center Project in Al-Bireh City Under the Supervision of: Pro.Sameer A. Abu-Eisheh Prepared by: Mohammad Tomeh Rand Malaysha KaremEzat
Project Description : • Al-Irsal Center is Arduna's first project in Ramallah and Al-Bireh • The project will assist in enhancing the economic and social life in Ramallah, Al-Bireh and most of the central region of the West Bank
Project Description : Location: • Al-Irsal Center is strategically located on Al-Irsal Hill-top, an elevated area on a major Al-Bireh-Ramallah route. • Al-Irsal Center is located 2km to the North of the downtown of Ramallah-Al-Birehoccupying an area of 51,000 m2 with a total floor space of approximately 200,000 m2
Project Description : Location:
Project Description : Access to Al-Irsal Center:
Project Description : Project Components: • Office and business facilities • Commercial activities • Residential • Hotel
Study Area: • The site lies close to the National Park, and near to President Yasser Arafat’s tomb, Plaza Mall, and Ministry of Interior
Aim and Objectives • The aim of our study is to find the traffic impact of this project on the system of roads around it • Evaluate current traffic operations • Estimate the traffic to be developed by Al-Irsal Center when it will be completely built • Examine how this project will affect the nearby roads • Solutions will be suggested to find the best alternative solution, which can solve the problems Objectives:
Methodology • Intersection Counting
Methodology • Field inventory studies
Methodology • Volume studies: • The peak hour volume (PHV) • The expansion factors • Traffic impact study (TIS) • Trip generation
Methodology • Level of service (LOS): • A Free flow • B Reasonably free flow A/B
Methodology • Level of service (LOS): • C Stable flow • D Approaching unstable flow C/D
Methodology • Level of service (LOS): • E Unstable flow • F Forced or breakdown flow E/F
Methodology • Level of service (LOS): • Level of service criteria for signalized & unsignalizedintersections
Methodology • Level of service (LOS): • The range of level of service for roundabouts
Data Collected and Analysis • The intersections in the study area
Data Collected and Analysis • Al-Irsal with Al-Mubadeen Intersection (#2): • Control Station:
Data Collected and Analysis • The relation between volume and time • Peak hour: Am: from 7:30 to 8:30 Pm: from 1:30 to 2:30
Data Collected and Analysis • Al-Irsal with -Bur Said Intersection (#6) • Coverage Station:
