It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to react to a situation to avoid a collision. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 45.5 ft/s and their cars can decelerate at 2.64 ft/s^2, determine the shortest stopping distance d (in feet) from the moment they see the pedestrians. The Correct answer is 528.59. Show solution.
Vehicle time headways and spacings were measured at a point along a highway, from a single lane, over the course of an hour. The average values were calculated as 4.3 s/veh for headway and 50 m/veh for spacing. Determine the space mean speed in km/hr ( round your answer in 3 decimals)

Assume you're observing traffic on a single lane of a highway in a specific location. Calculate the traffic flow (veh/hr), average speed (mi/hr), and density in this lane (veh/mi). Mean headway = 3.8 seconds; spacing= (177.4) feet.
Question 1 In studying traffic flow at a highway toll booth over a course of 60 minutes, it is determined that the arrival and departure rates are deterministic, but not uniform. The arrival rate is found to vary according to the function of A (t) = 1.8 2 +0.25t -0.0030t. The departure rate function is u(t) =1.4 + 0.11 t. In both of these functions, t is in minutes after the beginning of the observation and X(t) and u(t) are in vehicles per minutes. (i) When will the queue that forms be cleared? (ii) What time does the maximum queue length occur and what will be the corresponding queue length? (iii) Determine the total delay (iv) Estimate the average time delay per vehicle
