The fundamental diagram for a road section can be modelled using a triangular flow-density relationship, having a capacity (maximum flow) of 2000 vehicles per hour (veh/h), a free-flow speed of 80 kilometres per hour (km/h), and a jam density of 125 vehicles per kilometre (veh/km). 

In the peak hour, the congested traffic condition is observed with a speed of 46km/h. Which option below best describes the density during this peak hour?

A section of an arterial road has been found to have a speed-density relationship that was modelled using the following form:

where v is the space-mean speed in kilometres per hour (km/h), and k is the density in vehicles per kilometres (veh/km).

The relationship was found to have the best fit to the data by using the following coefficients:

a = 3.5

k_m = 152 veh/km

Which option below best presents the critical density (ie the density at which the capacity is obtained) of the above arterial road?

A linear regression fit to real traffic data speed (v) and density (k) data has the following relationship: v= 99 –0.5*k, where v is measured in kilometres per hour (km/h) and k is measured in vehicles per kilometre (veh/km). Which option below best describes the maximum flow of this fundamental diagram, measured in vehicles per hour (veh/h)?
