Results of traffic flow studies on a highway indicate that the flow-density relationship can be described by the expression. q = uk - k; If speed and density observations give the data shown below, develop an appropriate expression for speed versus density for this highway. (Use the following as necessary: k. Assume u is in mi/h and k is in veh/mi. Do not include units in your answer.) Speed (mi/h) Density (veh/mi) 56 19 54 26 45 42 39 56 27 72 21 86 18 98 Determine the density (in veh/mi) at which the maximum volume will occur as well as the value of the maximum volume (in veh/h). density at maximum volume maximum volume veh/mi veh/h
