Q1. During a 60 seconds period, a loop detector is occupied by vehicles for the following times for the following, 0.34s (car1), 0.38s (car2), 0.40s (car3), 0.32s (car4) and 0.52s (car5). Estimate the value of flow, density and velocity. You can assume that length of the loop detector is equal to 10 feet and the average length of all vehicles is 20 feet.

Expert Solution
Step 1: step 1

Given data

period=60 second

loop dector is occupied is detected by the vehicles for the following time

car 1= 0.34 sec

car 2 = 0.38 sec

car 3 = 0.4 sec

car 4 = 0.32 sec

car 5 = 0.52 sec

length of loop dector =10 ft

average length =20 ft
