Concept explainers

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

Question

The speed-density relationship of a highway is given as
u= 100 -0.5k
where, u = speed in km per hour, k = density in vehicles per km. The maximum flow (in vehicles per hour,
round off to the nearest integer is)
