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.
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.
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
Speed data is needed for a variety of traffic analyses. Spot speed data refers to measurement of individual speeds of vehicles passing a point on a roadway. Care must be taken to conduct the study appropriately so that the sample data will adequately reflect speed characteristics of the population.
Overview: Using your mousetrap car, conduct an experiment to see how a design change affects the distance that your car travels. Follow the steps below. Your grade will be based on your lab procedures and your final lab report. Directions: 1) Pick one of the following questions:
Assessing roadway safety questions. Evaluating and verifying speeding problems. Assessing speed as a contributor to vehicle crashes. Investigating input from the public or other officials.
This document is a lab report for a spot speed study conducted to analyze vehicle speeds on a highway. The objectives were to establish the speed distribution and determine vehicle speed percentiles. The study used radar guns and manual timing to record speeds.
