Question: Problem # 3 ( 7 . 3 W ) [ 1 0 pts ] A freeway has a capacity of 7 5 0 0 veh

Problem #3(7.3W)[10 pts]
A freeway has a capacity of 7500 veh/h in one direction that has three lanes. In one morning, traffic arrived at 3300 veh/h. At t=15 minutes, a crash occurred and blocked all the lanes. At t=60 minutes, police opened two lanes. The capacity of two lanes, V_2, was unknown but the queue disappeared at t=120 minutes. Draw the cumulative arrival and cumulative discharge curves versus time and determine V_2, and the maximum queue length. Hint: convert all the volume and capacity to the unit of vehicles per minute when drawing the curves.
