Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

Assume you are an observer standing at a point along a three-lane roadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 48 kph, all vehicles in lane 2 are traveling at 72 kph, and all vehicles in lane 3 are traveling at 97 kph. There is also a constant spacing of 75 m between vehicles. If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point, for 30 minutes, what will be the time-mean speed and space-mean speed for this traffic stream?
