Question:
A vehicle stream is interrupted and stopped by a flag-person. The traffic volume for the vehicle stream before the interruption is 1200veh/hr and the concentration is 100 veh/mi. Assume that the jam concentration is 240 veh/mi. After five minutes the flag-personreleases the traffic. The flow condition for the release is a traffic volume of 1600 veh/hr and a speed of 20 mph.
Determine the length of the queue and the number of vehicles in the queue after five minutes.
Also calculate how long it will take for the queue to dissipate after the flag-person releases the traffic.
