Think about how averages are calculated.
Question 5.
A traffic study finds that the time mean speed is consistently higher than the space mean speed over various measurements. Discuss the potential reasons for this finding.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the factors influencing congestion.
Question 6.
You are conducting a traffic survey on a busy intersection. You find the time mean speed is 25 km/h during the day but increases to 50 km/h at night. Discuss factors that could explain this variation.
