Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create an analysis of traffic flow at different speeds using Pipe’s model. For various speeds (e.g., 15, 30, 45 mph), calculate the required headway distances and discuss the risk involved at lower speeds according to field data.

💡 Hint: Use logical reasoning and reference field data for accuracy.

Question 2

Discuss how adjustments to Pipe’s model could enhance its applicability in urban traffic with frequent stops and starts. Propose an alternative model that could address these limitations.

💡 Hint: Think about incorporating time-based measures instead of just distance.
