On a segment of A1 motorway in Casablanca, Morocco, traffic flow data was collected. The measured maximum flow was 1750veh/h for one lane when the averge spacing was 26.3 m/veh. We are assuming that speed and density are linearly related. Obtain the critical density and speed values to show them on the speed-density, density-flow and speed-flow equations. Please also obtain the speed and density values when the flow is 850 veh/h during rush hour

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
