A data collection study found a linear speed - density relationship for a highway as follows u/65 +k/120 =1 1-Write down the speed - density ( given ) , flow - density and flow - speed models , and plot their relationships 2-raffic study has shown that the time headways between successive vehicles on this highway are exponentially distributed and that 30% of the headways between vehicles are 4 seconds or greater. Apply the traffic models derived in the question a), compute speeds and densities corresponding to this flow.

A researcher was positioned at the side of a 2-lane rural highway. He recorded the volume of northbound traffic, aggregated into 15 minute intervals. The recorded volumes were 243, 276, 318 and 490 vehicles for the first, second, third, and fourth 15-minute intervals, respectively. Calculate the peak flow rate (v/h). Provide your answer to the nearest integer.
