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....

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...

Consider a freeway segment with capacity of 8000 veh/hr, free-flow speed of 70 mph, and jam density of 200 veh/mi. The demand of this segment is constant at 7800 vel/hr. During the first hour of the hour morning peak, merging traffic entering from the on-ramp has priority thus it restricts the number vehicles that can pass through to 7500 veh/hr. This restriction ends after the first hour of the morning peak. a) Calculate the maximum excess accumulation b) Calculate the...
