A researcher was observing traffic along one lane of a rural highway. During a 1 minute time interval, ten vehicles were observed travelling 65, 64, 71, 66, 58, 72, 69, 66, 55 and 62 mph. Using these spot speeds, calculate the time mean speed (mph). Provide your answer to the nearest tenth of a mph.
Match the following to True/False. A. GPS devices are an example of mobile traffic sensors For the time-space diagram of a single-lane one-way road, the vehicle trajectories do not intersect with each other unless there is a crash. Pneumatic tubes detect vehicle presence by sending an electric signal to a roadside device. B. Space mean speed may be greater than time mean speed in certain situations. A. True B. False
