Traffic flow on a road is 1800veh/hr/lane and density of 14.4 veh/km/lane.
To reduce speeding on a section of highway, a police cruiser decides to
implement a rolling roadblock, and to travel in the left lane at the speed
limit of 88 kph for 10 km. No one dares to pass. After the police cruiser joins
the traffic flow, the platoon density increases to 20veh/km/lane and traffic
flow drops.
• How many vehicles (per lane) will be in the platoon when the police car
leaves the highway?
