Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a moving observer counts 120 vehicles passing by in one direction and encounters 30 vehicles while moving opposite, calculate the flow if the observer takes 15 minutes for the test.

💡 Hint: Ensure your time conversion is correct.

Question 2

An observer measures a flow of 720 veh/hr and the average speed of traffic is 40 km/hr. Determine the density and discuss how it reflects the efficiency of road use.

💡 Hint: Think about what high density means for drivers on the road.
