Question: Problem 1 ) Temporary capacity reduction There is a three - lane automobile dedicated road, which is designed to have a free - flow speed

Problem 1) Temporary capacity reduction
There is a three-lane automobile dedicated road, which is designed to have a free-flow speed of 80(km/h), a capacity of 2000(veh/h/lane), and a maximum density of 150(veh/km/lane). The demand for vehicles is constant at 2500(veh/h). At this time, an accident occurred at a point 10 km (x=10 km) at the time point 30 minutes after observation (t=0.5), and the road capacity was limited to 1000(veh/h) for one hour (t=0.5 to 1.5 h).
A. When the engineer's area in charge is between 0 and 15 km, mark the traffic state, shock wave, and the vehicle's trajectory on the time-space diagram.
( Please draw time- space diagram)
B. Discuss the characteristics of the congestion caused by the occurrence of an accident.
E.g. The length of the delay in the accident, the timing of the resolution of the delay, etc.
Problem 2) Queue Analysis
Solve the problem described above in terms of queue analysis. Draw the Arrival curve and the Department curve at the accident point (x=10 km) on the N-curve over time and discuss the characteristics of the congestion.
E.g. The length of the delay in an accident, the timing of the delay, etc.
Hint: Arrival rate is 2500(veh/h), and the number of vehicles that can actually pass through the section (departure rate) varies depending on the situation
