Please clearly show all steps. Answers are in red. On a specific westbound section of highway, studies show that the speed-density relationship is: 1. 3.6 It is known that the capacity is 3600 veh/h and the jam density is 215 veh/mi. a. What is the density at the point of maximum flow? 140.7 veh/mi b. What is the spacing between vehicles at this density? 19.20 ft/veh Assume an average vehicle length of 220 inches c. What is the space-mean speed...

Free flow speed and jam density ii. Derive the equation depicting relationship between flow and density Derive the equation depicting relationship between speed and flow iv. Show the values of free-flow speed, jam density and capacity graphically
(30)2- A section of a highway has a jam density 90veh/km and capacity 2600 veh/hr. What would be density for a given 1600 veh/hr flow rate?
Problem 2. (15 pts) Find the relationship between speed and density for a highway with a jam density between 17:5 and 260 pm and a free flow speed of 50 and 65 mph (by increment of 5 mph). (Please refer to Problem 3 for a solution approach to this problem.) Determine the two concentrations achieved at flow value of 1,700 vph. (10 pts) Determine as well the capacity of the facility.

Principles of transportation engineering The volume at a section of two lane highway is 1500 veh/h... DONT FORGET PART B 3. (10 pts) The volume at a section of a two-lane highway is 1500 veh/h in each direction and the density is about 25 veh/mi. A large dump truck is loaded with soil from an adjacent construction site joins the traffic stream and travels at a speed of 10 mi/h for a length of 2.5 mi along the upgrade before...
Q5) (15 marks) a) A traffic stream has mean headways of 2.4 sec. If the jam density is 64 veh/km, the optimum speed is 50 km/h, and the flow is 1,500 veh/hr, then what is the capacity of the highway (veh/hr)? (5 marks) b) Redo the above for jam density to be 60 veh/km and 70 veh/km. (5 marks) c) Discuss the effect of changes in optimum speed on the capacity of the highway. (5 marks)
a section of highway has the following flow-density relationship q = 50k-0.25k^2 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?
Five-minute average speed in km/h and flow rate in veh/h during 12 hours were collected from a section of the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 in Toronto. The collected data were plotted to form the scatter diagram shown in the figure below. A curve was drawn to describe the general relationship between speed and flow rate q as shown in the figure. 120 300 Speed km/h 60 1000 Flow Rate vel (a) From the above speed-flow rate curve, determine the...
Problem 3 (20 points) The traffic flow on a highway is al 1800 veh/hr with speed of ul 60 kmhr. As the an accident, the road is blocked. The density in the queue is k2-2 50 veh/km (jam density) a) What is the speed of the shockwave formed? (8 points) b) What is the rate at which the queue grows, in units of vehicles per hour? C 12 points) 120 Problem 3 (20 points) The traffic flow on a highway...
QUESTION THREE On an urban highway, the relationship between vehicle speed and density can be represented by the Greenburg Model as the data in Table 3.1. Due to the roadwork on this highway, the width of both traffic lanes is narrowed and a bottleneck to traffic flow forms. The maximum flow on the unobstructed highway is 5000 vehicles per hour whilst on the section under repair the maximum flow is 4000 vehicles per hour. When the traffic flow approaching the...
