1. Four vehicles are traveling at constant speeds between sections X and Y (280
meters apart) with their positions and speeds observed at an instant in time. An
observer at point X observes the four vehicles passing point X during a period
of 15 seconds. The speeds of the vehicles are measured as 88, 80, 90, and 72
km/hr respectively. Calculate the flow, density, time mean speed, and space
mean speed of the vehicles.

2. Show that the relationship between the time mean speed (𝑣𝑡 ) and space mean
speed (𝑣𝑠 )
𝜎2
𝑣𝑡 = 𝑣𝑠 +
𝑣𝑠
3. The following dataset consists of 30 observations of vehicle speed and length
taken from a 6-m by 6-m inductive loop detector during a 60-second time
period. Determine the occupancy, density, and flow rate.

4. In floating car method, following observations are made when floating car
moves in N-S direction.
No. of Vehicles overtaken by the test vehicle = 155
No. of vehicles overtaking the test vehicle = 105
Vehicles counted in S-N direction when test vehicle moves in N-S direction=80
Vehicles counted in N-S direction when test vehicle moves in N-S direction=75
Length of road stretch = 0.5 Km
Speed of test vehicle = 20 Kmph
Calculate the average journey time of the traffic stream in N-S direction?

5. Find out the following traffic entities from the below vehicle trajectory data

a) Find Time headway and Time gap between the 12th and 22th
vehicle at x=300m.
b) Find the Distance headway and Distance gap between 26th and
15th vehicle at t=620s.
c) Find the flow between 645s and 615s in veh/hr for x=200m.
d) Find the density between 300m and 100m in veh/Km for t=645s.

as follow:
Vehicle Point X (sec) Point Y (sec)
A Ta Ta+7
B Ta+3 Ta+9
C Ta+6 Ta+12
D Ta+12 Ta+22
