MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 4 - Question 24

Estimate the theoretical capacity of a traffic lane with one-way traffic flow at a stream speed of 45 kmph. Assume the average space gap between vehicles to follow the relation Sg = 0.278 Vt where V is the speed in kmph, t is the average reaction time 0.8 sec. Assume the average length of vehicles =5.0 m.

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 4 - Question 24
speed V= 45 kmph

reaction time t = 0.8 sec

length of vehicles L = 5 m

space s = 0.278 Vt + L

= 0.278 x 45 x 0.8 + 5

= 10.008 + 5

= 15.008 m

theoretical capacity C = 1000V/S

= 2998.4

= 2998(say)

So theoretical capacity C = 2998 vehicles/hour/lane

Hence the correct answer is option B.
