Problem 08 If the velocity of moving vehicles on a road is 24 kmph, stopping distance is 19 m and the average length of vehicles is 6 m, the basic capacity of the lane is a. 760 vehicles/hour b. 860 vehicles/hour c. 960 vehicles/hour d. 1060 vehicles/hour
A section of highway has a speed-flow relationship of the form "q = au^2 + bu" It is known that at capacity (which is 3100 veh/hr) the space mean speed of traffic is 28mi/hr. Determine the speed when the flow is 1500veh/hr and the free flow speed. Please show all steps.
Considering linear relationship between density and speed, you are required to estimate the corresponding flow and speed values to densities of 20, 30, 40 60, and 70 veh/km. if the free flow speed is 110 km/hr and at the critical situation, is founded that are 110 vehicles on section of the road with length 2km, using the estimated values, draw a sketch showing the speed-flow-density relationships?
6-7 The table below shows data on speeds and corresponding densities on a section of a rural collector road. If it can be assumed that the traffic flow characteristics can be described by the Greenberg model, develop an appropriate relationship between the flow and density. Also determine the capacity of this section of the road. Speed (mi/h) Density (veh/mi) Speed (mi/h) Density (veh/mi) 60.0 20 32.6 50 46.0 32 30.8 53 40.8 38 28.4 57 65 80 39.3 40 24.7 35.7 45 18.5
Two routes are available to carry 1200 vehicles in peak-hour traffic. Route 1 has a posted speed limit of 45 mph and is 5 miles long. The travel time increases by 2x2, where x is vehicles in thousands. Route 2 has a limit of 55 mph and is 6.7 miles long, and the travel time increases by 1.5x. Find the user-equilibrium travel flow and travel time.
8/ Five vehicles are traveling on a given highway with speeds and clear spacing between vehieles as shown in the figure below. Assuming all vehicles has a same length of 5m, estimate: 1) Average space and time mean speeds 2)Average time headway arriving a weetion A-A A. 10 m 40 m 40 m 15 m Traftic direction Val Vei4 Veh 3 Veh 2 Veh t A.
The gap between 2 consecutive automobiles is 25 meters. At a certain time the front vehicle is traveling at 85 kph and the following vehicle at 60 kph. If both vehicles start accelerating at the same time, determine the gap between two vehicles after 21 seconds if the acceleration of the vehicles can be assumed to take the following forms: du / dt = 1.04 – 0.080ut (leading vehicle) du / dt = 1.03 - 0.075ut ( following vehicle)
If 2340 vehicles per hour passes a certain lane of road with average speed of 52kph, determine the appropriate spacing of these vehicles. Answer in meters.
Data on traffic accident recorded on a certain intersection for the past 5 years has an accident of 4160 per million entering vehicles. If the average daily traffic entering the intersection is 504, find the total number of accidents during 5-year period. Use L=10 miles. a. 3862 b. 38.62 c. 3826 d. 38.26
During peak hours, 3800 vehicles pass through a certain highway from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, withspace mean speed of 20 kph. What is the average space headway per vehicle in meters?
Considering linear relationship between density and speed; you are required to estimate the corresponding flow and speed values to densities of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 vehicle/km if the free flow speed is 90 km/hr and at critical situation, it is founded that there are 110 vehicles on a section of road with length 2.0 km. using the estimated values, draw a sketch showing the speed flow - density relationships?
A section of a highway is known to have a free-flow speed of 65 mi/h and a capacity of 3500veh/h. In a given hour, 2500 vehicles were counted at a specified point along this highway section. If the linear speed-density relationship applies. What would you estimate the space-mean speed (mph) of these 2500 vehicles be? choices: 50.34, 48.61, 49.87, 51.46
