is the pattern of running speed at UiTM Pahang Kampus Jengka. All the vehicles will slow down at the bumps in few seconds and continue their journey. From the observation that we have made, there is no need to install traffic light at this route since all the drivers know how to tolerate with other drivers. So, it will
From the data analysis, the running time between westward is quite long as 68 seconds. However, the eastbound travel delay is much longer, 52 seconds. We estimated the traffic on the route at this point using the following formula: Running speed = distance / average running time
1. This lab experiment measured the running speed along a 6.7km route using a moving vehicle technique. Data on travel times, delays, and traffic volumes were collected during trips in both the eastward and westward directions. 2. The analysis found that the average running speed was 63.91km/hr eastward and 54.01km/hr westward.
In conclusion, the running speed study can be conducted and the quality if traffic movement along can be evaluate. Moreover, average traffic delays also have been determined which is 10 second by using a moving vehicle technique.
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.
