Concept explainers

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

Question

4. Vehicle time headway is 3.5 sec/vehicle and spacing of cars
measured at a point along the NLEX, from a single lane of 70
m/vehicle, over the course of an hour. Compute for the traffic density,
space mean speed, and the average speed of the traffic.

1) A 6-lane two-way arterial road has a maximum flow of 6,000 vehicles per hour on one direction. It is operating at 3,600 vehicles per hour at time, t=0. A collision occurs, blocking the two lanes, and restricting the flow of the outermostlane to 1,600 vehicles per hour. After 40minutes, the police have cleared the middlelane from accident debris; the operating volume at that time increased to 2,400 vehicles per hour.20 minutes past, the innermost lane was finally cleared of the accident.
