Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a data set of densities and speeds, derive the Greenshield coefficients and evaluate how they show the behavior of a congested before and after flow.

💡 Hint: Use statistical tools to identify patterns in the data.

Challenge 2 Hard

Model a hypothetical traffic scenario using Greenshield's equations to predict traffic behavior at peak times. What variations might you expect?

💡 Hint: Think about real-world impacts on the theoretical model you learned.
