Question 1.
What happens to the flow when there is zero density?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how vehicles are present on the road.
Question 2.
Define free-flow speed.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the conditions affecting vehicle travel.
3Question 3.
What happens to flow when vehicle density reaches maximum?
- Flow increases
- Flow decreases to zero
- Flow remains constant
Show hintHide hint
Consider the effect of congestion on flow.
4Question 4.
True or False: Free-flow speed occurs at no density.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how vehicles operate without any constraints.
Question 5.
Given a set traffic flow, determine how an increase in density impacts average speed on the roadways. Discuss a scenario where this change might lead to adverse outcomes.
Show hintHide hint
Think about real-life traffic situations where increased vehicles changed the pace.
Question 6.
Analyze the implications of maintaining optimal traffic flow on urban planning. How can traffic diagrams inform infrastructure decisions?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how a city might design its roads based on these principles.
