A section of highway has a speed–flow relationship of the form q = au2 + bu, where q is the traffic flow in veh/h, u is the space-mean speed of traffic in mi/h, and a and b are unknown parameters. It is known that at capacity (which is 3100 veh/h) the spacemean speed of traffic is 28 mi/h. Determine the speed when the flow is 1500 veh/h and the free-flow speed.

A freeway with two northbound lanes is shut down because of an accident. At the time of theaccident, the traffic flow rate is 1200 vehicles per hour per lane and the flow remains at this level.The capacity of the freeway is 2200 vehicles per hour per lane when not impacted by an accident.The freeway is shut down completely for 20 minutes after the accident and then one lane is openfor 20 minutes and finally both lanes are opened (40 minutes after the accident). What is theaverage delay per vehicle resulting from the accident (assuming D/D/1 queuing)?
Two routes connect an origin and a destination and the flow is 15000 veh/h. Route 1 has a performance function t1=4+3*x1, and route 2 has a function of t2=b+6*x2, with the x's expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and the t's in minutes. (a) If the user equilibrium flow on route 1 is 9780 veh/h, determine the free-flow speed on route 2(i.e. b) and equilibrium travel times. (b) If population declines reduce the number of travelers at the origin and the total origin-destination flow is reduced to 7000 veh/h, determine user equilibrium travel times and flows.

Assume that the speed-density function of a section of highway follows Greenshield's Model. The free-flow speed is 75 mph and the jam density is 176 veh mi lane a. Derive V as a function of S. b. In 15 minutes, you have counted that V=150 veh 15 minute lane Estimate the two possible speeds S (in mph) during this 15 minute period.
1) 1) A section of highway has the following flow-density relationship: q-50k-0.156k² What is the capacity (maximum flow) of the highway section, the space mean speed at capacity, and the density when the traffic flow on the highway is at one-quarter of its capacity? 2) An observer has determined that the time headways between successive vehicles on a section of highway are exponentially distributed (arrival of vehicle is Poisson distribution) and that 60% of the headways between vehicles are 13 seconds or greater. If the observer decides to count traffic in 30-second time intervals, estimate the probability of the observer counting exactly four vehicles in an interval.
