SHOW A FULL SOLUTION

A traffic signal operating at an intersection inside a mall with effective green and red times of 40 and 50 secs respectively. Vehicles arrive at the intersection at a rate of 700vph. The traffic stream model that will be used inside the mall is given such that u=70-0.71k (u is speed in kph and k is density in vpk/lane). Determine the following:
a.) Jam Density
b.) Free-flowing speed
c.) Maximum capacity
d.) Flow at traffic state A
e.) Density at traffic state A
f.) Flow at traffic state B
g.) Density at traffic state B
h.) Shockwave A-B
i.) What type of shockwave happened in State A-B
j.) Flow at traffic state C
k.) Density at traffic state C
l.) Shockwave B-C
m.)What type of shockwave happened in State B-C
n.) Max queue length
o.) Queue reach
p.) How long will it take for the queue to completely clear (secs)?
