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.

F] Vehicles travel at constant speeds on a one-lane one-way street between sections X and Y. An observer located at point X observes the four vehicles passing point X during a period of 10 seconds. The speeds of the vehicles are measured as 45, 45, 40, and 30mph, respectively. Calculate the average flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed.
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?
