Question 1.
What does the flow-density curve represent?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how number of cars changes with space.
Question 2.
How does speed typically change as density increases?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens in heavy traffic.
3Question 3.
What happens to flow at maximum density?
- Increases
- Decreases
- Remains constant
Show hintHide hint
Recall how heavy traffic affects movement.
4Question 4.
True or False: Speed decreases as vehicle density increases.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about traffic jams.
Question 5.
Design an experiment to observe how different densities affect vehicle speed on a controlled track.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the types of vehicles that will be used.
Question 6.
Analyze the implications of a new traffic policy that aims to reduce density at peak times. How might this affect flow?
Show hintHide hint
Think about real-world examples where policies have changed traffic flow.
