13. An incident that occurs on a particular highway results in traffic incurring an average delay of one hour per vehicle. An estimated 2,000 vehicles are impacted by the incident. If the distribution of traffic is comprised of 5% five-axle trucks, 2% three-axle trucks, 4% six-tire trucks, 2% four-tire trucks, 4% medium auto for business purposes, 3% small auto for business purposes, and the remainder are automobiles for personal purposes, what is the value of the total delay incurred by the traffic.
2. A one-way road is found to have a capacity of 2000 veh/hr. If a traffic enforcer says that the traffic volume there is only 150 veh/hr, can you conclude that the traffic condition is not congested? Why or why not? Illustrate using a diagram.
