The freeway detector recorded an occupancy of 0.255 over a 15-minute period. If the detector is 1.5 meters long, and the average vehicle has a length of 6.5 meters, what is the implied density of this measurement?

From data collected on a metropolitan arterial road, it has been found that speed (v in kph) and density (k in vpk) are related by the following expression: v=72 0.72k Plot the speed-density diagram. Write the equation of the plot on this diagram and show the values of free-flow speed, critical speed, critical density and jam density on this diagram. Plot the flow-density diagram. Write the equation of the plot on this diagram and show the values of free-flow speed, critical speed, critical density, jam density and capacity on this diagram. Plot the speed-flow diagram. Write the equation of the plot on this diagram and show the values of free-flow speed, critical speed and capacity on this diagram.

Question: A section of highway is known to have a free-flow speed of 55 mph and a capacity of 3300 veh/hr. In a given hour, 2100 vehicles were counted at a specified point along this highway section under uncongested conditions. If the linear speed- density relationship applies, what would you estimate the space-mean speed of these 2100 vehicles to be? Show all the calculation steps.
