5.6 A section of highway has the following flow- density relationship q = 50k - 0.156k2 [with q in veh/h and k in veh/mi]. What is the capacity of the highway section, the speed at capacity, and the density when the highway is at one-quarter of its capacity?

8.20 Two routes connect a suburban area and a city, with route travel times (in minutes) given by the expressions t₁ = 6 + 8(x₁/c₁) and t₂ = 10 + 3(x2/c2), where the x's are expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and the c's are the route capacities in thousands of vehicles per hour. Initially, the capacities of routes 1 and 2 are 4000 and 2000 veh/h, respectively. A reconstruction project on route 1 reduces the capacity to 3000 veh/h, but total traffic demand is unaffected. Observational studies note a 35.28-second increase in average travel time on route 1 and a 68.5% increase in flow on route 2 after reconstruction begins. User-equilibrium conditions exist before and during reconstruction. If both routes are always used, determine equilibrium flows and travel times before and after reconstruction begins.
