Q3. On a specific westbound section of highway, studies show that the speed density is a non linear relationship and it is,
u = uf[1- (k/k;)3.5]
The capacity (maximum flow) of the highway is 3800 veh/h and the jam density kj is 140 veh/km. (a) What is the speed (space
man speed) of traffic at capacity? What is the free flow speed?
A section of highway has a linear speed-density relationship. The capacity of the roadway
is 3150 veh/hr and this capacity is observed at an average speed of 35 mi/hr. What speed is
observed when traffic is uncongested with a flow of 2500 veh/hr? What is the density of
traffic when it is congested and operating at 75% of the capacity?

It is operating at 3,600 vehicles per hour at time, t=0. A collision occurs, blocking the two lanes, and restricting the flow of the outermostlane to 1,600 vehicles per hour. After 40minutes, the police have cleared the middlelane from accident debris; the operating volume at that time increased to 2,400 vehicles per hour.20 minutes past, the innermost lane was finally cleared of the accident. Traffic returns to normalas soon as the queue has already immoderate. a.Determine the maximum length of queue that occurred. b.How long did it take to dissipate the queue? c.If a vehicle entered the road at t=10 minutes, how long will it take for it to leave the traffic?arrow_forward

Provide you answer to the nearest hundredths.arrow_forwardH.w Try only ten): 1. The flow is zero on the highway only if the density equals to zero. 2. Density is the number of vehicle passing during a given width of lane of roadway. 3. If an accident occure during the way, it could be say that it is uninterreputed flow. 4. Mobility for arterial road is grater than the mobility of local road. 5. 85 th percentile of spot speed cumulative curve represents the highway speed limit. 6. One of the most important of on street parking is mechanical garage. 7. As angle of parking increase, more accidents would be occure. 8. At jam density, density of flow is zero. 9. PHF of rural region is less than the PHF in urban region. 10.Stopping time delay occure ar intersection. 11.Future traffic includes only generated and developed traffic. 12.As the tunover duration of the parking increase, operation of the parking increases also.arrow_forwardSubject : Transportation Engineering Give me right solution according to the question..
