### Flow-Density Relationship on a RoadwayUnderstanding the flow-density relationship on a roadway is crucial for traffic engineering and management. The following graphical representation outlines this important relationship:![Flow-Density Graph](https://example.com/path-to-graph-image)#### Graph DescriptionThe graph demonstrates the flow-density relationship where the horizontal axis (k) represents the density of vehicles (in vehicles per mile, veh/mi), and the vertical axis (q) represents the flow of vehicles (in vehicles per hour, veh/hour).Key Points on the Graph:- (0,0): Indicates no vehicles on the road, resulting in zero flow.- \((k_{q_{max}}, q_{max})\): Represents the maximum flow point \((q_{max})\), where the road's capacity is reached.- \((k_{jam}, 0)\): Represents the jam density \((k_{jam})\), where the roadway is at full capacity, and the flow drops to zero due to a traffic jam.#### Problem StatementGiven the following parameters:- Capacity, \( q_{max} \) = 2,286 veh/hour- Jam density, \( k_{jam} \) = 167 veh/mi- Free flow speed (maximum speed) = 64 mi/hr**Question:** What is the density (in veh/mi) at a congested flow of 1200 veh/hour?To solve this problem, use the following linear relationship between flow and density on the congested side of the graph.#### Steps to Solve:1. **Identify the Parameters:** - \( q = 1200 \) veh/hour - \( q_{max} = 2,286 \) veh/hour - \( k_{jam} = 167 \) veh/mi2. **Use the Linear Equation for Congested Flow:** The linear equation relating flow (q) and density (k) in the congested region is derived from the two points \((k_{q_{max}}, q_{max})\) and \((k_{jam}, 0)\). The equation of the line is: \[ q = q_{max} - \frac{q_{max}}{k_{jam}}(k - k_{q_{max}}) \] Simplify and solve for k when \( q = 1200 \) veh/hour:

Assume that the flow-density on a roadway looks as follows: (0,0) (kamax ¹9max) k (kjam, 0) If the capacity, qmax, is 2,286 veh/hour, jam density, Kjam, is 167 veh/mi and the free flow speed (maximum speed) is 64 mi/hr, what is the density (in veh/mi) at a congested flow of 1200 veh/hour?
