On a specific westbound section of highway, studies show that the speed-density relationship is: It is known that the capacity is 5200 veh/h and the jam density is 310 veh/mi. What is the a.) space-mean speed of the traffic at capacity, (mph) b.) and what is the free-flow speed? (mph)
A section on a highway is known to have a speed at maximum flow to be 30kph and a capacity of 3300veh/hr. In a given hour, 2100 vehicles were counted at a specified point along this highway section. Determine the following using if the relationship of speed and density is logarithmic. Determine the jam density in veh/km.
The lane of a 2-lane one way carriageway is closed for repairs. The maximum mean free speed under conditions of low flow in the 2-lane portion is 65km/hr. Under conditions of low flow, observations show that the maximum mean free speed in the bottleneck is also 65km/hr. The average space headway when vehicles are stationary is 12.5m. The volume of traffic on the 2-lane road is 1800 veh/hr. Assuming that the speed-concentration relation is linear, find The mean speed of traffic through the bottleneck caused by the closure of one lane; The mean speed of traffic in the congested conditions immediately on the approach to the bottleneck The mean speed of traffic on the carriageway clear of the influence of the bottleneck The rate at which the queue of the congested traffic enter
