Think about how the definitions relate to slower speeds.
Question 5.
In a traffic study, the following speeds were recorded: 20, 30, 20, 40, 60, 15. Calculate TMS and SMS. What does this tell about traffic behavior?
Show hintHide hint
Start with calculating TMS first, then apply the harmonic mean for SMS.
Question 6.
A traffic analysis shows a flow of 200 vehicles over an hour. If the road density is 50 vehicles/km, what is the average space mean speed?
