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?

A section of highway is known to have a free-flow speed of 50mph and a capacity of 3600 veh/h. In a given hour, 2400 vehicles were counted at a specified point along this highway section. If the linear speed-density relationship (greensheild model) applies, what would you estimate the space-mean speed of these 2400 vehicles to be?

road construction The 20-year projection of annual average daily traffic of a two-way roadway is 36.500 vehicles. Theroad serves as a highway between a residential area and a business area and the expected directionaldistribution factor is D=0.6. The 30th peak hour factor for the roadway is K=0.15. During an hourly vehiclecount, the following values were registered: 1st 15 minutes: 200 cars, 2nd 15 minutes: 130 cars, 3rd 15minute 230 cars, 4th 15 minutes. 180 cars. Estimate the peak hour factor . What is the designdirectional hourly volume for this route?
