Traffic Engineering

  1. A two-lane urban road with one-way traffic has a maximum capacity of 1800 vehicles/hour. Under the jam condition, the average length occupied by the vehicles is 5.0 m. The speed versus density relationship is linear. For a traffic volume of 1000 vehicles/hour, the density (in vehicles/km) is
    1. 52
    2. 58
    3. 67
    4. 75
Correct Option: C

qmax =
kj.uj
4

∴ kj =

=
4 × 1800
= 400 veh. / km

∴ k = 66.6 ≈ 67.
