In a traffic safety study to reduce pedestrian-vehicle accidents on a level road segment, it was estimated that by a video camera that vehicles moved during deceleration an average distance of 60 m at the moment before hitting pedestrians. If the average speed on this segment is 80 kph, compute the maximum safest speed of vehicles on this segment assuming a deceleration rate of vehicles is 3.4 m/s². Answer: v= 72.7 kph

- 2. Data obtained from aerial photography showed six vehicles on a 600 ft – long section of road. Traffic data collected at the same time indicated an average time headway of 4 sec. Determine (a) the density on the highway, (b) the flow on the road, and (c) the space mean speed. Ans. k = 52.8 veh/mi, q = 900 veh/h, SMS = 17.0 mi/hA flow characteristic that is related to the density and obtained from speed data is occupancy. Data obtained from a 6-ft by 6-ft inductive loop detector is used to determine the traffic density. With an occupancy of 9.375%, determine the density, in vehicles per mile, for a mean vehicle length of 27 feet.Assume you are an observer standing at a point along a three-lane roadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 48 kph, all vehicles in lane 2 are traveling at 72 kph, and all vehicles in lane 3 are traveling at 97 kph. There is also a constant spacing of 75 m between vehicles. If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point, for 30 minutes, what will be the time-mean speed and space-mean speed for this traffic stream? thank you

If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point, for 30 minutes, what will be the time-mean speed and space-mean speed for this traffic stream?Studies have shown that the traffic flow on a two-lane road adjacent to a school can be described by the Greenshields model. A length of 0.5 mi adjacent to a school is described as a school zone (see Figure 6.19) and operates for a period of 30 min just before the start of school and just after the close of school. The posted speed limit for the school zone during its operation is 20 mi/h. Data collected at the site when the school zone is not in operation show that the jam density and mean free speed for each lane are 118 veh/mi and 63 mi/h. If the demand flow on the highway at the times of operation of the school zone is 95% of the capacity of the highway, determine: 6-13 (a) The speeds of the shock waves created by the operation of the school zone (b) The number of vehicles affected by the school zone operation (c) The time the queue takes for it to dissipate after the operation of the school zoneThe length of a highway is 550 m when a head-on vehicle collision occurred. Police reports show that neither human error nor vehicle malfunction was the cause of the collision. Check if the length of the highway is sufficient for an overtaking maneuver. Accident Report: -Speed of Overtaking Car = 96 kph -Speed of Overtaken Car= 88 kph -Perception-reaction time = 2.5 sec -Average acceleration = 2.4 m/sec? -Time of the passing vehicle occupying the left lane (10.4 sec) - Distance between the passing vehicle at the end of its maneuver and the opposing vehicle= 84 m
