Question
100%
Imagine you are recording speed at a point along a three-laneroadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 60 mi/h, all vehicles in lane 2 are traveling at 30 mi/h, and all vehicles in lane 3 are traveling at 45 mi/h. There is also a constant spacing of 3168 ft. between vehicles. If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point, for 60 minutes, what will be the time-mean speed and space mean speed for this traffic stream?
Expert Solution
Given data:

The values given in the question are as follows

Travelling speed of lane-1 vehicles(v1)=60 mi/hr

Travelling speed of lane-2 vehicles(v2)=30 mi/hr

Travelling speed of lane-3 vehicles(v3)=45 mi/hr

Constant spacing(S)=3168 ft or 0.6 mile

Observed travel time(t)=60 minutes or 1 hr
