A traffic flow has density 61 veh/km when the speed is 59 veh/hr. If a flow has a jam density of 122 veh/km, what is the maximum

flow in veh/hr (in whole number)? Use Greenshield Model.

Since this traffic flow has a jam density of 122 veh/km, the maximum flow is equal to 3,599 veh/hr.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Density = 61 veh/km.

Speed = 59 km/hr.

Jam density = 122 veh/km.

<h3>How to calculate the maximum flow.</h3>

According to Greenshield Model, maximum flow is given by this formula:

$q_{max}=\frac{V_f \times K_i}{4}$

<u>Where:</u>

$V_f$ is the free flow speed.

$K_i$ is the Jam density.

In order to calculate the free flow speed, we would use this formula:

$V_f =2 V\\\\V_f =2\times 59\\\\V_f=118\;km/hr$

Substituting the parameters into the model, we have:

$q_{max}=\frac{118 \times 122}{4}\\\\q_{max}=\frac{14396}{4}$

Max flow = 3,599 veh/hr.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a) $n = 1000\,users$ , b) $\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h$ , c) $n = 10000000\,users$ , $\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h$

Explanation:

a) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

$n = \frac{10\,km^{2}}{1\,\frac{km^{2}}{cell} }\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )$

$n = 1000\,users$

b) The length of the side of each cell is:

$l = \sqrt{1\,km^{2}}$

$l = 1\,km$

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h$

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}$

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h$

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h$

c) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

$n = \frac{10\times 10^{6}\,m^{2}}{100\,m^{2}}\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )$

$n = 10000000\,users$

The length of each side of the cell is:

$l = \sqrt{100\,m^{2}}$

$l = 10\,m$

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{0.01\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h$

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}$

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h$

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h$
