Observers stationed at two sections XX and YY, 1000 ft apart on a highway, record the arrival times of four vehicles as shown in the table below. Vehicle Section XX Section YY A T0 T0 + 14.33 sec B T0 + 3.76 sec T0 + 18.14 sec C T0 + 7.94 sec T0 + 22.06 sec D T0 + 12.13 sec T0 + 27.87 sec If the total time of observation at XX was 20 sec, determine (a) the time mean speed, (b) the space mean speed, (c) the flow at section XX, and (d) the density on the highway
Studies have shown that the traffic flow on a two-lane road adjacent to aschool can be described by the Greenshields model. A length of 0.5 miadjacent to a school is described as a school zone and operates for a periodof 30 min just before the start of school and just after the close of school.The posted speed limit for the school zone during its operation is 15 mi/h.Data collected at the site when the school zone is not in operation showthat the jam density and mean free speed for each lane are 125 veh/mi and57 mi/h. If the demand flow on the highway at the times of operation ofthe school zone is 90% of the capacity of the highway, determine: The speeds of the shock waves created by the operation of the schoolzone, and• The number of vehicles affected by the school zone in the upsream ofthe zone during this 30-minute operation.
Flow on a freeway with two lane was 1600 veh/hr/ln, and the density of 16 veh/km/ln. Due to maintenance work on the left side of the road, 12 km of the road were closed, there was increasing in density to be 29.8 veh/km/ln and backward moving shockwave speed with 8 km/hr. 1. Find the speed and flow of the right side in the maintenance section. 2. How many vehicles (per lane) will be in the platoon after leaving the work zone?
