Assume you are an observer standing at a point along a three‐lane roadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 30 mi/hr, all vehicles in lane 2 are traveling at 45 mi/hr, and all vehicles in lane 3 are traveling at 60 mi/hr. The spacing between vehicles in each lane is 0.5 mile. If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point for 2 hours, what will be the time‐mean speed and space‐mean speed for this traffic stream?

Question 4 Vehicles begin to arrive at a border gate at 06h50 with a deterministic arrival rate of λ (t) = 5.2 - 0.01t (λ is in vehicles per minute and t in minutes after 06h50). However, the gate opens at 07h00 and serves vehicles at a rate of μµ(t) =3.3 + 2.4t (with t in minutes after 07h00 and u in vehicles per minute). Once the service rate reaches 10 vehicles per minute, it stays at that level for the rest of the day. ● ● Illustrate the operational characteristics of the vehicle queue-delay on a (cumulative) vehicle-Time graph.
