3. Flow on a road is q1=1800veh/hr/lane, and density is kl=14.4 veh/km/lane. To reduce speeding on a section of highway, a police cruiser decides to implement a rolling roadblock, and to travel in the left lane at the speed limit (v2=88km/hr) for 10 km. This ensures that no overtaking is done by the vehicles in this platoon. After the police cruiser joins, the platoon density increases to 20 veh/km/lane and flow drops. Find: (a) How many vehicles will be in the platoon when the police car leaves the highway (b) How long it will take for the queue to dissipate

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?
14. Free-flow speed of vehicles on a road section is 88 km/h. Jammed density is 228 veh/km. Determine the traffic density on the road if traffic flow is at a maximum level. Also determine the possible maximum flow for the road section and the average speed of vehicles at that maximum traffic flow rate. (114 veh/km, 5016 veh/h, 44 km/h)
A multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) is on level terrain. The free flow speed has been measured at 50mph. The peak-hour directional volume is 1500 vehicles with 10% heavy vehicles, and PHF is 0.9. If the proportion of vehicles types and peak-hour factor remains constant, how many vehicles can be added to the directional volume before capacity is reached?
Q2/ driver moving at speed of 43.8 mi/h with average acceleration = 1.43 he decides to pass the car on the right lane , the initial time for maneuver = 4 sec and the time of the passing vehicle is traveling in left lane =10 sec . determine the required distance to pass the vehicle ?
Ina road-intersection near Dhaka, average 120 cars make right-hand turns in every hour. Road planner wants to put in a 3-vehicle right- hand turn lane in the intersection to avoid blocking of thru traffic. Determine if 3-vehicle right-hand turn lane satisfy the following design criteria: Red light time of right-hand traffic is 30 seconds Right-hand turn lane must be sufficient 90% of the time.
A driver is traveling at 45 mi/h and has a perception-reaction time of 3 seconds. A deer is spotted at a distance of 380 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to a stop just before hitting the deer. Assuming practical stopping distance, what is the grade of the road in percent?
