Q13) What is the density (in vehicles/km/lane) if I have a 3 lane road, with a total of 60 vehicles, and the road length is 500m (1/2 km)?
After mall opening, the traffic volume (demand) in a certain road section (6-lane divided highway)at the peak hour is forecasted to be 5200vph. An accident blocks 1 lane of the highway. It took15 minutes till the accident is cleared and capacity is fully restored. Use the following speeddensity relationship: u=112.81-1.75k (u is speed in kph and k is density in vpk/lane) to answerthe following questions:a.) Determine the free-flowing speedb.) Compute for the shockwave between the free-flow state and the state where there iscapacity reduction due to accident.c.) Compute for the shockwave between state when there is capacity reduction due toaccident and the state where vehicles flow with full section capacitySHOW FULL SOLUTION
Vehicle time headways and spacings were measured at a point along a highway, from a single lane, over the course of an hour. The average values were calculated as 4.3 s/veh for headway and 50 m/veh for spacing. Determine the flow rate in veh/hr ( round your answer in 3 decimals)
Vehicle time headways and spacings were measured at a point along a highway, from a single-lane rural roadway, over the course of an hour. The average values were calculated as 2.5 seconds per vehicles for headway and 200 feet per vehicle for spacing. What is the density, in vehicle per mile?
Estimate the capacity of a given highway in veh/ hr with density equal to 110 veh/km during jam condition and with a speed of 80 kph during free flow condition. Assume a linear relation between density and speed.
A section of a highway is known to have a free-flow speed of 65 mi/h and a capacity of 3500veh/h. in a given hour, 2500 vehicles were counted at a specified point along this highway section. If the linear speed-density relationship applies. What would be the density at the capacity(veh/mi)?

B- Discuss with the aid of graph the vehicle operation cycle, in public transportation.
A certain expressway has a capacity of 3800 vehicles per hour and a jam density equivalent to 160veh/km. The daily record shows that the space mean speed of vehicles is equivalent to 69 kph. Fromthe given data, determine the time headway of vehicles in seconds
The traffic volume of a road is 400 veh/hr. Determine the volume in PCU/hr if the vehiclesconsist of 250 passenger cars, 50 medium size lorries, 50 busses, and 50 motorcycle
the average spacing of vehicles in a single highway is 45 m center to center. The volume of traffic is 585 vehicles per hour. Determine the density (veh/km) of traffic in that highway.
