Eg 1.) Determining Flow, Density, Tine Mean Speed and Space Mean Speed Figure shows vehicles traveling at constant speeds on a two-lane highway between sections X and Y with their positions and speeds obtained at an instant of time by photography. An observer located at point X observes the four vehicles passing point X during a period of T see. The velocities of the ‘vehicles are measured as 45, 45, 40, and 30 mi/h, respectively. Calculate the flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed. 15,20" 30 20) 35) 20 as SS" 30m 40a 45min ow 45 mith Digestion “ a) Flow, 4, | nx Suoo a= 7 » 4x se09 7 EEC FEE ey e rb Aven _ S2e0pt S00—t ~ Teile © TIME MEAN SPEED, ay es EM, 304 404 454 46 palit 4 d) SPACE MEAN SPEED, ag ne a Sorry Re 3S.5i9men] + - ig 2) Tire Mean Speed.

Eg 11.) Density of Traffic Versus Time Mean Speed and Space Mean Speed ‘Two sets of students are collecting traffic data at the two sections A and B 200 ‘meters apart along a highway. Observation at A shows that 5 vehicles ass that section at intervals of 8.18 sec., 9.09 sec., 10.23 sec., 11.68 sec. and 13.64 sec. respectively. If the speeds of the vehicles were 80, 72, 64, 56 and 48 kph, ‘compute the following: {a) Density of trafic in veh/km {(b) Time mean speed in kph (©) Space mean speed in kph, 1 a> DENSITY, K ~~ Se B20.

If six vehicles are distributed along a highway 300 m long have lengths of 5.48 m, 6 1m, 137 m, 4.6 m, 5.4m, and 67 m respectively, compute the density of traffic in veh/km. Lane Occupancy is the ratio of sum of the lengths of the vekicles to the length of the road section in which those whicles are present. Eg 14,) Volume of Traffic ‘The spacing of the cars moving along the same lane of an expressway is 40m center to center. If the average velocity of the car is 80 kph, determine the volume of traffic. 1Eg.15,) Peak Hour Factor Compute the peak hour factor if the hourly volume of traffic is 1800 vehicles/hour and the highest 15 min volume is 750 Peak Hour Factor (PHP) = ameasure of traffic demand fluctuations within the peak the hourly volume during the maximum volume hour day divided by the peak 15-minute flow rate within the hour.
