speed in kph.
Vehicles Time(minute)
1 1.2
2 1.0
3 1.4
4 1.3
5 1.1

PROBLEM 2:
From the following data of a freeway surveillance, there are 5 vehicles under observation and the following
distances are the distance each vehicle had travelled when observed every 2 sec. Compute the space mean speed
in kph.
Vehicles Distance, S (m)

1 24.4
2 25.8
3 24.7
4 26.9
5 22.9

PROBLEM 3:
There are 9 vehicles observed in a 300 m section of McArthur highway. If the average time headway is 4 sec,
compute the space mean speed of the vehicles in kph.

PROBLEM 4:
Traffic data collected a two sections A and B of a highway, which is 450 m apart. Five vehicles pass section A at
intervals of 3, 4, 3 and 5 sec respectively. The vehicles speeds are 50, 45, 40, 35 and 30 kph respectively. It takes
each vehicle 20 seconds after the first vehicle passes through the section.
a. Determine the time mean speed.
b. Determine the space mean speed.
c. Determine the density.

Traffic data collected a two sections A and B of a highway, which is 450 m apart. Five vehicles pass section A at
intervals of 3, 4, 3 and 5 sec respectively. The vehicles speeds are 50, 45, 40, 35 and 30 kph respectively. It takes
each vehicle 20 seconds after the first vehicle passes through the section.
a. Determine the time mean speed.
b. Determine the space mean speed.
c. Determine the density
