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...

Traffic flow on a one-lane road section (no passing is allowed) has the capacity of 1,000 vehicles/hour and free-flow speed of 40 km/hour. There exists a railway grade crossing at the end of the road section. On one day, a train is passing through the crossing and the gate is closed. Consequently the vehicles are required to stop behind the gate while the train is passing. Three minutes later, the gate is opened and the vehicles immediately start moving again....

6, Traffic Shockwave theory (15%) Vehicles approaching an signalized intersection are traveling at speed 40 miles per hour and the density is about 40 vehicle/miles/lane (vehicle arrival). The red light last about 40 sec. If the saturation flow is 1900 vehhr/lane with a density of 52 veh/miles/hour (queue discharging). and the jam density is 120 veh/mile lane, please determine: a. the queue length at the end of the red light: b. the maximum queue length: c.

A roadworks site is set up on a road carrying a flow of 1200 vehicles per hour at a speed of 60 kilometres per hour. The roadworks restricts the capacity of the road to half of the arrival flow, causing a queue to build up of vehicles that travel at a speed of 10 kilometres per hour. a) Identify the flow and density conditions of the arriving traffic stream, and of the slow-moving queue of vehicles b) Sketch these two...
