Table below shows the frequency of each speed collected from a rural highway segment. Caiculate the 85-percentile speed. Note: The 85-percentile speed is designed as the speed at or below which 85% of the traffic is travelling. Speed (MPH 25 Frequency 28 2 1 29 32 33 35 2 36 1 37 39 2 42 1 43 45 5 46 2 47 3 48 49 3 50 51 52 1 53 2 54 1 55 56 1 57 2 60 1 61 2 62 1 63 1 64 1 65 1 66 69
Two observers have determined that the time headways between successive vehicles are exponentially distributed and that 70% of the headways are 8s or greater. If one of observer decides to count traffic in 40s intervals, and the other in 35s intervals, estimate the probability of each observer counting 5 or more vehicles in their own intervals?
Five vehicles are traveling the highway from Point A to Point B at constant speeds. An observer at point A observes the five vehicles passing the designated point during an interval period of 29 seconds. Speeds of the vehicles are as follows : 55, 40, 45, 50, 32 kph. Calculate the flow in veh/hr. the final answer is 620.6897
q.complete. Answer.
Vehicles arriving at an intersection from one of the approach roads follow the Poisson distribution. The mean rate of arrival is 900 vehicles per hour. If a gap is defined as the time difference between two successive vehicle arrivals (with vehicles assumed to be points), the probability (up to four decimal places) that the gap is greater than 8 seconds is
