A volume of 320 veh/h. Assume that the vehicle arrivals are Poisson distributed. What is the probability that the headway between successive vehicles will be less than 10 seconds. choices: 62.70%, 58.90%, 56.30%, 60.00%
Vehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational park. There is a single gate (at which all vehicles must stop), where a park attendant distributes free brochures. The park opens at 8:00 AM. At which vehicles begin to arrive at a rate of 480 veh/h. After 20 minutes, the arrival flow rate declines to 120 veh/h and corrtinues at that level for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 15 seconds, and assuming D/D/1 queuing (a) draw the queuing diagram (b) describe the operational characteristics of the queue (maximum queue length, maximum queuing time, average queuing time per vehicle etc.)

A freeway with two northbound lanes is shut down because of an accident. At the time of theaccident, the traffic flow rate is 1200 vehicles per hour per lane and the flow remains at this level.The capacity of the freeway is 2200 vehicles per hour per lane when not impacted by an accident.The freeway is shut down completely for 20 minutes after the accident and then one lane is openfor 20 minutes and finally both lanes are opened (40 minutes after the accident). What is theaverage delay per vehicle resulting from the accident (assuming D/D/1 queuing)?
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?

Data obtained from aerial photography showed nine vehicles on a 720 ft-long section of road. Traffic data collected at the same time indicated an average time headway of 4.2 sec. Determine the following. (a) the density on the highway (in veh/mi) veh/mi (b) the flow on the road (in veh/h) veh/h (c) the space mean speed (in mi/h) mi/h
Suppose you are noticing traffic in a single lane of an expressway at a particular area. The average headway is quantified as 4.2 seconds. The average spacing of successive vehicles is found as 38 meters. According to the findings, compute the average speed, flow, and density of this stream on the lane.
A section of highway has a speed–flow relationship of the form q = au2 + bu, where q is the traffic flow in veh/h, u is the space-mean speed of traffic in mi/h, and a and b are unknown parameters. It is known that at capacity (which is 3100 veh/h) the spacemean speed of traffic is 28 mi/h. Determine the speed when the flow is 1500 veh/h and the free-flow speed.
