For a spot speed study in which 100 observations were obtained, the mean speed was 52 km/h and the standard deviation was 4.6 km/h. (BO0K: Traffic % Highway engineering, N.

What is a reasonable estimate of the 85th percentile speed based on the information available?
The following 10 vehicle speeds (in mi/h) were in measured on a roadway segment: 60, 65, 64, 71, 66, 65, 59, 63, 72, 71. The space mean speed for this data set is: O 65.0 C 65.3 65.6 Insufficient information is provided. O None of the above

Traffic data are collected between Point X and Y. Seven vehicles pass in Point X at intervals of 18, 17, 19, 28, 25, 22, and 24 sec respectively. The vehicle's speeds are 60, 50, 55, 58, 52, 49, and 30 kph respectively. Calculate the flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed. Determine also the length of the segment.
Vehicle time headways and spacings were measured at a point along a highway, from a single lane, over the course of an hour. The average values were calculated as 4.3 s/veh for headway and 50 m/veh for spacing. Determine the flow rate in veh/hr ( round your answer in 3 decimals)

3. If 5473 vehicles passes a certain lane of road with an average speed of 60 kph, determine the appropriate spacing of the vehicles
This is a three-part problem. Two sets of students are collecting traffic data at two roadway stations, station 130 + 00 and station 145 +00. Observations at station 130 + 00 show that five vehicles passed that section at intervals of 0, 3, 4, 3, and 5 sec, respectively. If the speeds of the vehicles were 50, 45, 40, 45, and 50 mph respectively. Note: Stationing is fundamental to highway plans. A station is the horizontal measurement along the Construction Survey Line of a project. Distances are measured and points are identified on plans with reference to station numbers. One hundred feet is equivalent to one station. Highway stationing might be compared with a rope having knots at 100-foot intervals. The beginning end of the rope would be 0, the first knot at 100 feet would be Station Number 1 and would be written as 1+00. The second station number would be 2 (which is 200 feet from the beginning) and would be written as 2+00, and so on. Part A. Determine the time mean speed, in mph.…
