UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Summer 2019 Transportation and Traffic Engineering 87-365 Assignment 1 Due: End of tutorial, Monday, May 27,2019 Question 1: Eight vehicles passing through a highway were observed during 1-minute period of observation. The following table shows each vehicle's travel time to traverse 1-km section of the highway and speed. Assume that the speed of each vehicle within the 1-km section is constant. (a) Calculate (i) average speed of each vehicle, (ii) the volume, (ii) the time mean speed (TMS) and (iv) the space mean speed (SMS) (b) Explain whether the difference between TMS and SMS will be larger or smaller if the speed of each vehicle greatly varies within the 1-km section but its average speed is the same. Vehicle number Travel time (sec) 59.5 59.2 52.3 50.4 59.0 51.8 54.5 55.1
