Determine the density of traffic on a highway for free flow speed of 80 km/hr and flow rate of 1200 pc/hr/ln
Subject : Transportation Engineering Give me right solution according to the question.. Please urgent please Free flow speed of a roadway section is 100 km/h and the capacity of the same section is 3000 veh/h. At a specific point along this roadway section, 2400 vehicles were observed in a predetermined hour. What can be the space-mean speed of these 2400 vehicles if a linear speed-density relationship is considered?
The traffic volume for a section of a highway can be estimated using the following equation: q = 15.1k[ln (195) - In(k)] Where q is the traffic flow measured in veh/hr and k is the traffic density measured in veh/mi. Based on the provided information, estimate the following (Show all your calculation steps): Maximum flow a. b. Jam density C. Maximum density
