Traffic data are collected between Point X and Y. Seven vehicles pass in Point X at intervals of 18, 17, 19, 28, 25, 22, and 24 sec respectively. The vehicle's speeds are 60, 50, 55, 58, 52, 49, and 30 kph respectively. Calculate the flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed. Determine also the length of the segment.
The uniform arrival and uniform service rates observed on an approach road to a signalized intersection are 20 and 50 vehicles/minutes, respectively. For this signal, the red time is 30 s, the effective green time is 30 s, and the cycle length is 60s. Assuming that initially there are no vehicles in the queue, the average delay per vehicle using the approach road during a cycle length (in seconds, round off to 2 decimal places) is
