- An observer counts 360 veh/h at a specific highway location. Assuming that the arrival of vehicles at this highway location is Poisson distributed, estimate the probabilities of having at least 5 vehicles arriving over a 25-second time interval. choices: 8.57%, 10.88%, 4.20%, 6.89%arrow_forwardAfter mall opening, the traffic volume (demand) in a certain road section (6-lane divided highway)at the peak hour is forecasted to be 5200vph. An accident blocks 1 lane of the highway. It took15 minutes till the accident is cleared and capacity is fully restored. Use the following speeddensity relationship: u=112.81-1.75k (u is speed in kph and k is density in vpk/lane) to answerthe following questions:a.) Determine the free-flowing speedb.) Compute for the shockwave between the free-flow state and the state where there iscapacity reduction due to accident.c.) Compute for the shockwave between state when there is capacity reduction due toaccident and the state where vehicles flow with full section capacitySHOW FULL SOLUTIONarrow_forwardVehicle time headways and spacings were measured at a point along a highway, from a single lane, over the course of an hour. The average values were calculated as 4.3 s/veh for headway and 50 m/veh for spacing. Determine the flow rate in veh/hr ( round your answer in 3 decimals)arrow_forward

- A certain expressway has a capacity of 3800 vehicles per hour and a jam density equivalent to 160veh/km. The daily record shows that the space mean speed of vehicles is equivalent to 69 kph. Fromthe given data, determine the time headway of vehicles in secondsarrow_forwardTraffic engineering شننبarrow_forwardThe traffic from a suburban area to a city uses the following five shorter routes, as shown below. Access from Suburban Route 4 Route 1 Route 5 Route 2 Route 3 Access to City The models below show the travel time as a function of traffic flow on each route. t₁ = 18 + 4.5 x₁ t₂ = 21+ 7.0 x₂ t3 = 26 + 4.9 x3 t4 = 29+ 3.4 x4 t5 = 34 + 0.3 x5 Where: t; is travel time on route 'i' (in minutes) and x; is traffic flow on route 'i' (in 1000 vehicles).arrow_forward
