Question: A triangular flow - density relationship has the following parameters: Capacity ( i . e . maximum flow ) : 2 0 0 0 veh

A triangular flow-density relationship has the following parameters:
Capacity (i.e. maximum flow): 2000 veh/h
Critical density (i.e. the density at the which the capacity happens): 20 veh/km
Jam density (i.e. the density at which the flow is 0): 120 veh/km
During the peak hour, a speed limit of 80 km/h is imposed in an attempt to reduce the traffic congestion. What will be the maximum flow when such speed limit is imposed?
A)1600 veh/h
B)1920 veh/h
C)1800 veh/h
D)2000 veh/h
