- Average Traffic Spacing The headway h is the average time between vehicles. On a highway carrying an average of 500 vehicles per flour, the probability P that the headway is at least t seconds is given by P=0.87t. a. What is the limiting value of P? Explain what this means in practical terms. b. The headway h can be calculated as the quotient of the spacing f, in feet, which is the average distance between vehicles, and the average speed v, in feet per second, of traffic. Thus, the probability that spacing is at least f feet is the same as the probability that the headway is at least f/v seconds. Use function composition to find a formula for the probability Q that the spacing is at least f feet. Note: Your formula will involve both f and v. c.
