Andeng highway can accommodate speed of 80 kph under free-flowing conditions. On average, front bumper-to-bumper spacing of 1.20m is occuring on the highway such that the flow stops completely. Determine the flow of traffic on Andeng Highway if the average speed of the vehicles is 36 kph.
final answer is 16,500
A section of highway has a speed-flow relationship of the form q = au2 + bu. It is known that at capacity (which is 3100 veh/h) the space-mean speed of traffic is 28 mi/h. Determine the speed when the flow is 1500 veh/h and the free-flow speed.
The lane of a 2-lane one way carriageway is closed for repairs. The maximum mean free speed under conditions of low flow in the 2-lane portion is 65km/hr. Under conditions of low flow, observations show that the maximum mean free speed in the bottleneck is also 65km/hr. The average space headway when vehicles are stationary is 12.5m. The volume of traffic on the 2-lane road is 1800 veh/hr. Assuming that the speed-concentration relation is linear, find
The mean speed of traffic through the bottleneck caused by the closure of one lane;
The mean speed of traffic in the congested conditions immediately on the approach to the bottleneck
The mean speed of traffic on the carriageway clear of the influence of the bottleneck
The rate at which the queue of the congested traffic enter
