Recap…
• Speed (v) – ft/sec or mph• Flow (q) – veh/sec or vph• Density (k) – veh/ft or vpm• Spacing (s) – ft/veh • Headway (h) – sec/veh• Clearance (c) – ft/veh• Gap (g) – sec/veh
Remember, units are critical!

Fundamental Relationships
• q = k v(veh/hr) = (veh/mi) (mi/hr)
• h = 1 / q(sec/veh) = 1 / (veh/hr) (3600)
• s = 1 / k(ft/veh) = 1 / (veh/mi) (5280)

Types of Facilities
• Uninterrupted flow– Freeways– Multilane highways– Two-lane highways

Types of Facilities
• Interrupted flow– Signalized streets– Un-signalized
streets with stop signs
– Transit lanes– Pedestrian
walkways

Example
Assuming a linear v-k relationship, the mean free speed is 60 mph near zero density, and the corresponding jam density is 140 vpm. Assume the average length of vehicles is 20 ft. Find:
– v(k) and q(k)– Sketch v-k, v-q, and q-k diagrams– Compute v and k at q=1000 vph– Compute the average headway, spacings,
clearances, and gaps when the flow is maximum
