Traffic on a freeway gives a Greenshield's traffic flow relationship expressed as: Q = 60k-0.16667k? At 10AM, an accident occurs 4 km downstream of an access ramp. The vehicles pull onto the shoulder of the roadway, but traffic passing the accident area slows to 10 kph as drivers survey the damage on the side of the road. A patrol car enters the freeway via access ramp, also at 10AM. Upon entering the freeway, the patrol car notes that traffic on the freeway is moving along at about 40 kph. Determine the following: 1. Capacity flow of the highway 2. Traffic shockwave created by the road accident 3. Time in AM the patrol car will reach the accident zone 4. Plotted traffic shockwave line in the Q-k traffic model diagram
(TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY ENGINEERING) A tall building is located 13.5 m from the centerline of the right lane of a local road and 19.5 m from the centerline of the right lane of an intersecting road in figure below. If the maximum speed limit on the intersecting road is 56 km/h, what should the speed limit on the local road be such that the minimum sight distance is provided to allow the drivers of approaching vehicles to avoid imminent collision by adjusting their speeds? Approach grades are 2 percent.
Calculate the minimum length of overtaking zone of a one way traffic road if the velocity of the overtaking and the overtaken vehicles are 110 and 60 kph, and the acceleration of the vehicle is 1.2 m/s^2. (Hint: overtaking sight distance is just a third of minimum length of overtaking zone).
Compute the intermediate sight distance for a freeway with a design speed of 80kph if the perception time is assumed to be 2.5 seconds with a skid resistance of 0.70. Assume brake efficiency to be 60%.
