During measurement in spot speed study, a total of 1000 vehicles were observed. 85 per centile and 15 percentile speeds were obtained as 40 kmph and 10 kmph respectively. Find the number of vehicles moving between speeds of 10 kmph and 40 kmph.
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
Data obtained from aerial photography showed 8 vehicles on a 356 m-long section of road. Traffic data collected at the same time indicated an average time headway of 4.8 sec. Determine the space mean speed in km/hr to one decimal place in accuracy
A flow characteristic that is related to the density and obtained from speed data is occupancy. Data obtained from a 6-ft by 6-ft inductive loop detector is used to determine the traffic density. With an occupancy of 9.375%, determine the density, in vehicles per mile, for a mean vehicle length of 27 feet.
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
1. Flow is defined as the equivalent hourly rate at which vehicles pass a point on a highway during a time period. 2. The theoretical minimum value of occupancy for a loop detector installed on a highway is 3. The vehicle headway is always less 4. Time-mean speed is equal to the arithmetic (greater/less) than the value of time gap. (arithmetic/harmonic) mean of the spot speed values.
A traffic data has been collected on two points on a highway : Point A and Point B, 450m apart. Observations at Point A shows that five vehicles passed the location at intervals 4, 2, 3, and 3 sec respectively. The speed of the vehicles at point A are 52, 78, 62, 58, 56 km/hr respectively. Assume the speed is maintained until point B. What is the density, in veh/km.
