    Course: -Transport Engineering (CENG 3181)

    1. A study of freeway flow at a particular site has resulted in a calibrated speed-


    density relationship, as follows:

    Us = 57.5(1-0.008k)

    From this relationship:

    a. Find the free-flow speed and jam density

    b. Derive the equations describing flow versus speed and flow versus density.

    c. Determine the capacity of the site mathematically

    2. Inspection of a freeway data set reveals a free flow speed of 60 mph, a jam density
    of 180 vehicles per mile per lane, and an observed maximum flow of 2000 vehicles per
    hour. Determine the linear equation for velocity for these conditions, and determine
    the speed and density at maximum flow conditions. How do the theoretical and
    observed conditions compare? Use Green shield’s Model

    3. A slow moving truck drives along the roadway at 10 MPH. The existing conditions on
    the roadway before the truck enters are shown at point 1 below: 40 mph, flow of
    1000 vehicles per hour, and density of 25 vehicles per mile. The truck enters the
    roadway and causes a queue of vehicles to build, giving the characteristics of point 2
    below: flow of 1200 vehicles per hour and a density of 120 vehicles per mile. Using
    the information provided below, find the velocity of the shockwave at the front and
    back of the platoon.

    Point 1: Normal flow ( us = 40 MPH, k=25 veh/mi, q= 1000 vph.

    Point 2: Slow Truck: ( us = 10 MPH, k=120 veh/mi, q= 1200 vph


    4. F or the following data on speed and density, determine the parameters of the
    Green shields' model. Also, find the maximum flow and density corresponding to a
    speed of 30 km/hr.

    k v

    171 5

    129 15

    20 40

    70 25

    5. Assuming a linear v-k relationship, the mean free speed is 60 mph near zero
    density, and the corresponding jam density is 140 vpm. Assume the average length of
    vehicles is 20 ft. Find:

    – v(k) and q(k)

    – Sketch v-k, v-q, and q-k diagrams

    – Compute v and k at q=1000 vph

    – Compute the average headway, spacing, clearances, and gaps when the
    flow is maximum
