80 cars/h
X1
50 cars/h
X6
B
ts
---- →-
120 cars/h
D
40 cars/h
140 cars/h
Answer the following questions. Keep in mind that traffic flow on each road has to be greater or equal to 0.
a) What is the maximal possible traffic flow on the road connecting intersections E and A?
Enter your answer to part a) here:
b) Suppose that the road connecting intersections E and A gets closed. Assuming that all measurements of traffic flow indicated on the picture above stay
unchanged, what is the minimal possible traffic flow on the road connecting intersections D and C in such case?
Enter your answer to part b) here:
