2. Data obtained from aerial photography showed six vehicles on a 600 ft – long section of road. Traffic data collected at the same time indicated an average time headway of 4 sec. Determine (a) the density on the highway, (b) the flow on the road, and (c) the space mean speed. Ans. k = 52.8 veh/mi, q = 900 veh/h, SMS = 17.0 mi/h
In a traffic safety study to reduce pedestrian-vehicle accidents on a level road segment, it was estimated that by a video camera that vehicles moved during deceleration an average distance of 60 m at the moment before hitting pedestrians. If the average speed on this segment is 80 kph, compute the maximum safest speed of vehicles on this segment assuming a deceleration rate of vehicles is 3.4 m/s². Answer: v= 72.7 kph

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
