Studies have shown that the traffic flow on a two-lane road adjacent to a school can be described by the Greenshields model. A length of 0.5 mi adjacent to a school is described as a school zone (see the figure) and operates for a period of 30 min just before the start of school and just after the close of school. The posted speed limit for the school zone during its operation is 15 mi/h. Data collected at the site when the school zone is not in operation show that the jam density and mean free speed for each lane are 122 veh/mi and 61 mi/h. If the demand flow on the highway at the times of operation of the school zone is 90% of the capacity of the highway, determine the following. A diagram of a long, horizontal two-lane road is viewed from above, where traffic goes to the right in the bottom lane and to the left in the top lane. The middle section of this stretch of road is labeled "0.5 mile School Zone" and is bounded by two vertical lines. (a)the velocity of the shock wave…

Traffic on a freeway gives a Greenshield's traffic flow relationship expressed as: Q = 60k-0.16667k? At 10AM, an accident occurs 4 km downstream of an access ramp. The vehicles pull onto the shoulder of the roadway, but traffic passing the accident area slows to 10 kph as drivers survey the damage on the side of the road. A patrol car enters the freeway via access ramp, also at 10AM. Upon entering the freeway, the patrol car notes that traffic on the freeway is moving along at about 40 kph. Determine the following: 1. Capacity flow of the highway 2. Traffic shockwave created by the road accident 3. Time in AM the patrol car will reach the accident zone 4. Plotted traffic shockwave line in the Q-k traffic model diagram
TRANSPORTATION CLASS ASSIGNMENT 1. The traffic flow on a highway is ql=2000 veh/hr with speed of vl=80 km/hr. As the result of an accident, the road is blocked. The density in the queue is k2=275 veh/km. (Jam density, vehicle length = 3.63 meters). Find: (a) The speed of the vehicles at jam density (b) The rate at which the queue grows (in units of vehicles per hour )

A freeway traffic stream was observed to have a density of 22.0 veh/mi/ln when the mean speed was 55.0 mi/h. On another occasion at the same location, the jam density was found to be 132 veh/mi/ln. Assume Greenshields' model of traffic flow applies. The optimum speed (in mi/h) is: a) 22.0 b) 33.0 c) 55.0 d) 66.0 e) None of he above
Choose the right answer a rural highway on a level terrain has the following traffic composition: 40 % Passenger cars 30 % trucks 20 % buses 10 % recreational vehicles Find the total volume expressed as pcu/hr. if the total volume is 6000 veh/hr. * a-7620 b-7630 c-7640
The space mean speed (kmph) and density (vehicles/km) of a traffic stream are linearly related. The free flow speed and jam density are 80 kmph and 100 vehicles/km respectively. The traffic flow (in vehicles/h, up to one decimal place) corresponding to a speed of 40 kmph is SIIRDED
..Average free flow speed and the jam density observed on a road stretch are 60 km/h and 120 vehicles/km, respectively. For a linear speed-density relationship, the maximum flow on the road stretch (in vehicles/h) is_
