Vehicles are driving at 35 miles/hour in a roadway. A slow truck joins the traffic at 15 mile/hour for 1.5 miles. Assume the following q-k model and traffic parameters. Uf=60; Kj=120;qcap=1800; q=60k-0.5k^2. Using shockwave analysis, determine the following: Q1: When the truck pulls off the road, how long is the queue behind the truck? Q2: After the truck pulls off the road, how long it takes for the queue to disappear?
