Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A highway segment has a speed limit of 60 km/h. If the density is 40 vehicles/km at peak time, calculate the expected flow in vehicles per hour.
💡 Hint: Use the flow formula and be careful to convert all units properly.
If a road sees increasing density to 100 vehicles/km, and the speed drops to 30 km/h, what might happen to flow? Estimate the flow under these conditions.
💡 Hint: Think about how high density vs. speed impacts overall traffic movement.
