5. Traffic on Route 15 south of Selinsgrove was observed at two different times. The first observation found a flow rate of 1,863 vehicles per hour per lane and a density of 85 vehicles per mile. The second observation found a flow rate of 1,050 vehicles per hour per lane and a density of 25 vehicles per mile. Using this data, compute the following: a. For both observations, determine the vehicle speed [mph] and the time headway [sec] b. If...
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...
