Which is THE BEST Highway Interchange Layout? Freeways!
Переглядів 1,683,324
День томуA real highway engineer experiments with real four way highway interchange design in Freeways to see if Freeways is realistic in modelling traffic flows on real highway junctions. I love a game made by just a single person, but when it's one about creating the most efficient highway interchange layouts I am 100% sold! As a civil engineer of 10 years specializing in highway design, I should be really good at this right? Right????

About Freeways:
Freeways is a game where you draw freeway interchanges. You are the traffic engineer.
Draw roads like you're drawing a picture.
Design for efficiency or draw the spaghetti junction of your dreams.
Simulate traffic flow through your interchange. Most importantly, avoid traffic jams.
Connect a whole world together in a network of interchanges. Features 80 levels.

@fastandfishious34 2 роки тому
It seems that the formula for efficiency is 1000 * traffic flow * complexity factor / concreate used. The displayed values are probably rounded down. As for complexity factor, I think it represents the amount of traffic; here, there are 4 entry points that want to go to 3 exits with a weight of 3 (the thickness of the arrow), so 4*3*3=36.

Actually, there was hardly any traffic on the German Autobahns until well after WW2. Consequently, the pre-war interchanges were usually cloverleaves. Even the Frankfurter Kreuz, the interchange with by far the most traffic, was designed as a cloverleaf, and has been improved only 20 or so years ago.

@dustinandrews89019 2 роки тому
@@monad_tcp In this game yes. In RL a well sized roundabout for the traffic flow often works better than anything needing traffic lights. Installation costs are about double stoplights, but total cost of ownership is much lower. There is a traffic circle near my home that replaced side-road stop-signs over a rural highway. All but eliminated bottlenecks, but rural highway users don't always give way and some bad t-bones still happen from time to time. Mostly big trucks crushing passenger cars who went "one more" notch around than expected. (Which I have to do to get to my house so I am likely to give way while in the circle, which is terrible for traffic but better than getting squashed.)
@monad_tcp 2 роки тому
@@dustinandrews89019 roundabouts don't eliminate bottlenecks, they have less throughput, plain and simple. sure, comparing them to T-junctions, they are way better, but comparing to stoplight cross junctions, they are slower, uses more space, but are safer, and do cost less to run overall. the advantage of roundabouts is that your city requires less global traffic control to work, but that's because all of the traffic is smoother and slower. which is good to decrease accidents. but if you want pure speed and throughput, then they are not that great, or if you don't have space anymore.

There's one more type of interchange you can do, although I think it fails on this particular location: an intersection. Just draw two vertical lines and two horizontal lines, and trust the cars to turn left or right as needed. I think in this game, it makes it functionally almost identical to a small roundabout, but with sharper turns. It only works rarely, when traffic is low and mostly directly across instead of turning.

"We're gonna go with one you *may* have heard of before" Oh yes, I'm very familiar with the old classic Diverging Diamond technique. I'm glad you described it, because I was testing whether or not you knew it.

Matt, in the beginning of the video, you mention the most expensive part of an interchange is the bridges and that engineers want to keep them short. In real life, are tunnels a viable alternative? Or would they be just as expensive?
@dj-tobe 2 роки тому
Aren’t tunnels even more expensive?
@rodmannamdor 2 роки тому
@@dj-tobe yep, the are
@OriginalPiMan 2 роки тому
Tunnels are even worse. The only thing more expensive than a tunnel is a tunnel under water. Sometimes it is the right thing to do, but if it is simply a matter of choosing over or under, all else equal, then over is best.
@danieltaber4924 2 роки тому
Building a bridge is way cheaper than making a tunnel. The bridge only has to support itself, while the tunnel has to be dug out and support whatever overlays it.
@zippysqrl 2 роки тому
Depends on the type of tunnel, whether they'd need to dig out the land above it first. They need to build the supporting structure of the tunnel walls regardless, and then potentially putting the surrounding land back afterwards. I suspect they'd be just as expensive, if not moreso, and in most cases are basically the same as bridges, just made partially of land and not exclusively concrete.

i play cities skylines and i've been adopting the diverging diamond for all my intersections, but instead of bridging over the other road on the cross over i've had them intersect with traffic lights

I think lights are the way to go when you're connecting a freeway to a road, but this seems to be only freeway-freeway connections so no lights allowed.

Ngl the windmill interchange looked kinda like a swastika when I first saw it. It could just be that we were talking about it in class the other day.

Seen my comment? The way-too-big one?
@BladerRavinger92 2 роки тому
You could make your windmill more efficient by having large bridges from North to South and have the east-south + west-north run at grade under the bridge, then raise it to join the overpass

Anti-Science is a Rising Problem. And so is the non-identical-but-bloodrelated Issue of Fake-Science. So much so that the channel simply named 'Spirit Science' misuses this word, has 1,16 mio subs, and is growing. So much of a social problem that actively damages our Planet and the human-species that i have even tried to report them. But for a simple factor, it didnt work yet: Not enough people do the same i do. Not enough report such a big channel, thinking 'Ah, it wont do anything anyway, so why even try'. Yeah, 'why even try'... thanks for that mindset... ... Sorry for the long comment but it woul be cool if you use the reportsystem of YT as it was once intended: to help 'us'. Aka: Would be cool if you help fight-back Anti-Science at least a bit. Hope you try, as it costs literally nothing but seconds.
