Problem ExerciseTraffic 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 toimplement a rolling roadblock, and to travel in the left lane at the speedlimit of 88 kph for 10 km. No one dares to pass. After the police cruiser joinsthe traffic flow, the platoon density increases to 20veh/km/lane and trafficflow drops.• How many vehicles (per lane) will be in the platoon when the police carleaves the highway?WBA'A.B,

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
