Question

If the stopping distance and average length of a vehicle are 18 m and 6 m respectively,then the theoretical maximum capacity of a traffic lane at a speed of 10 m/sec is

Answer 1

Answer:

416.667 vehicle per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of traffic C = 1000 V/S.  

Where, V = Velocity of moving vehicle.  

S = Stopping distance + Average length of vehicle.  

Here, S= 18+6= 24 m

Velocity V= 10m/s

C = 1000*10/(24)

C= 416.667 vehicle per hour

Capacity of traffic at a velocity of 10 m/s with avg. length of 6 m of vehicle is 416.67

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

S= stopping distance+Length of vehicle

S=18+6=24m

V=10m/sec(given)

V= 10×18/5 km/hr= 36Km/hr

Capacity(C)= 1000V/S= 1000×36/24= 1500 vehicles/hour.
