Question 9 For a freeway with a free flow speed of 70 mph, and an analysis volume (or flow rate) of 1,906 passenger car/hour/lane, what is the speed in mph?
Suppose that a crash occurs on a two lane highway, blocking one lane for 45 minutes and dropping the capacity of the other lane by 70% for the same time period. After 45 minutes, the crash and emergency vehicles are cleared from the road and capacity of each lane returns to its normal value of 2000 vehicles/hour/lane. If vehicles approach the section at a rate of 2500 vehicles/hour and the queuing system can be assumed to be D/D/1: What is the length of the longest queue? vehicles How many minutes after the crash occurs does the queue clear? minutes
Vehicles arrive at an intersection at a rate of 450 veh/h according to a Poisson distribution. What is the probability that 3 or more vehicles will arrive in two successive 30-second interval?
A rural highway has one lane in each direction. In one direction V = 300 veh/hr/ln at a railroad crossing. The barriers at this crossing are lowered to block vehicles for four minutes and 30 seconds for a train to pass. What is the probability that when the barrier is lifted, the queue has exactly nine vehicles? Assume no initial queue.

A section of highway is known to have a free-flow speed of 50mph and a capacity of 3600 veh/h. In a given hour, 2400 vehicles were counted at a specified point along this highway section. If the linear speed-density relationship (greensheild model) applies, what would you estimate the space-mean speed of these 2400 vehicles to be?
Answer part B, C, and D
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?
