Instructions: Write and answer the following questions in CE Paper (A4).

I. Answer the following questions:

1. Draw figures that shows the measures for describing the space between
vehicles such as the headway (H), spacing (S), gap (G), and the clearance
(C).
2. What is Time Mean Speed and what is the formula?
3. What is Space Mean Speed and what is the formula?
4. What are the two types of Headway?
5. What is the Greenshield Model?

II. Solve the following problems:

1. The following data were observed for four vehicles traversing a distance of 2
mile segment of the Mandaue Reclamation Project. It is required to compute
the space mean speed of this vehicle.
Vehicle Time (min)
A 1.2
B 1.4
C 1.5
D 1.6
2. Data on traffic passing thru an intersection indicates that vehicles moved at a
space mean speed of 40 mph where the density is 22 vehicles per hour per
mile. Compute the rate of flow in vehicles per hour.
3. The rate of flow at a point in the highway is 1200 vehicles per hour. Find the
space mean speed if the density is 25 vehicles per mile.
4. Compute the peak hour factor (PHF) if the hourly volume of traffic is 1800
vehicles per hour and the highest 5 min. volume is 250.
5. Determine the appropriate spacing of vehicles center to center in a certain
lane if the average speed of the cars using that particular lane is 40 kph and
the volume of traffic is 800 vehicles per hour.

III. Greenshield Calibration

1. For the following data on speed and density, determine the parameters of the
Greenshield’s model. Also find the maximum flow and density corresponding to
a speed of 30 km/hr
