To get a complete speed scenario of this road section data were taken on both weekdays and weekends in four different time periods that include morning peak (8.00a.m-9.00a.m), off-peak (11.00a.m-12.00p.m), evening peak (6.00p.m-7.00p.m) and night time (9.00p.m-10.00p.m).
Spot Speed Study Purposes: Establishing the speed zone of new or existing speed limit or enforcement practices. To determine speeds at the problem locations; to validate whether speeds are too high. For traffic operation and control; to establish speed limits. to determine safe speeds at curves.
In this laboratory activity, a distance of 0.5 km between two points at particular location is chosen and a time for a vehicle passing through from first point to another point is recorded. The running speed is measured by dividing the distance passing through with the time taken.
This document describes a laboratory activity for a Highway Engineering course involving a running speed study. Students will use a moving vehicle technique to collect travel time and delay data along a test route. The objective is to evaluate traffic movement and delays.
Spot speeds are useful to study paints of congestion, for locating traffic signals, or for enforcing speed limits. Running speeds are useful to assess the traffic capacity of highways.
The present study demonstrates the influence of operating speed on capacity of a midblock section of urban road. Speed–flow data collected at 12 midblock sections of 6-lane and 4-lane divided urban …
