A trailer from a minor road joins a major road traffic stream having a flow of 2000 veh/hrand a density of 18veh/km. The heavy traffic in the opposite stream makes it difficult forvehicle to overtake it once in the traffic stream. The trailer moves at a speed of 60Km/hr forstretch of 15km. The effect of the entry of the trailer into the traffic stream is an increase inthe density of the traffic behind to 30 veh/Km. Determine the number of vehicles that willbe in the traffic stream when the trailer eventually leaves
A stream of traffic moving at a speed of 40km/h and a concentration of 20veh/km is stopped for 2mins by a herd of cattle crossing the road. After the herds departure, the vehicles began moving at a speed of 20km/h and a concentration of 60veh/km. Assuming a jam concentration of 150veh/km, calculatei. The velocity and direction of the stopping waveii. The length of the line of cars stopped during the 2mins periodiii. The number of cars stopped during the 2minsiv. The velocity of the shock wave resulting from the dissipation of the queue
In a stream of vehicles, 20% of the vehicles travel at a constant 50 km/hr, 30% at a constant speed of 80 km/hr and the remaining vehicles travel at a constant speed of 100 km/hr. An observer travelling at a constant speed of 60 km/hr over a length of 6 km with the stream is passed by 10 more vehicles than he passes. When the observer travels against the stream at the same speed and over the same length of highway, the number of vehicles met is 390. What is the mean speed and flow of traffic stream being observed? How many vehicles travelling at 100 km/hr are met by the observer while he travels against the stream?
