1.0 Introduction

In this laboratory activity students will be exposed to the appropriate methods to carryout
Running Speed Study using moving vehicle technique.

2.0 Objective

The objective of the test is:

I. To conduct the Running Speed Study and evaluate the quality of traffic
movement along a route and determine the traffic delays by using a moving
vehicle technique.

3.0 Apparatus

 A test vehicle, driver, observers

 Two stopwatches
 Distance measurement equipment / Odometer
 Two field forms.

Procedures

1. The study area was defined by selecting all control points before beginning the
study.
2. The time periods recommended for studies are A.M. and P.M. peak hoursas well
as off peak hours.
3. The test car was traveling at the average speed of all vehicles.
4. The test car proceeds from east to west direction along the road. The travel
time was recorded to move from east to west.
5. Time for stop delay was counted at the junction along the route.
6. The number of vehicle was counted in the opposite direction, Number of cars
overtaking the test car and no of cars overtaken by test car.
7. In this technique, the observers took a round trip on a test section, then turned
the vehicle around and drove back again for at least four (4) times.

Table 1.1 Running speed of vehicle at eastward distance
 5.0 Discussion of the result

From this experiment, the total length of the route is 5 km. The test was conducted
around 11 am during off-peak hours. The vehicle used in this experiment was a cars, vans,
bus and lorries. Several intersections and traffic lights were found along the route, and the
delay times and vehicle delays for each stop were determined. In this test, the return trip was
performed only once. The tests were conducted in fine weather and without any unusual
conditions such as a car accident while driving.

From the data analysis, it can be seen that the difference in running time between east
and west is as small as 28 seconds. However, the eastbound travel delay is much longer,
14.19 seconds compared to the westbound travel delay of 17.02 seconds. We estimated the
traffic on the route at this point using the following formula:

Running speed = distance / average running time

The speed of the vehicle may also affect the calculation since the speed of the vehicle used is
not always moving at a constant speed. The conditions of the route, traffic volume and vehicle
movement affect the speed of the vehicle therefore it is not always constant.

6.0 Conclusion

In conclusion, the running speed study can be conducted and the quality if traffic
movement along can be evaluate. Moreover, average traffic delays also have been
determined which is 10.18 second by using a moving vehicle technique.
