    This document contains a traffic engineering module that provides examples of calculating time mean speed (TMS), space mean speed (SMS), and other metrics from speed study data. It includes 9 problems involving computing TMS and SMS from data tables listing vehicle speeds and travel times, developing frequency distributions from speed study results, and determining average speed, standard deviation, median, mode, and 85th-percentile speed. The goals are to understand concepts used to analyze speed and traffic flow data.

    Module: Introduction to Traffic Engineering (TD)

    1. Calculate the extra width required for a horizontal road curve having 2 lanes of
    traffic and radius of curvature being 250 m. The design speed is 60 km/h and length
    of wheel base is 6 m. (0.544 m)

    2. Calculate the extra widening necessary on a two lane pavement for a radius of
    horizontal curve of 100 m. Assume the wheel base of design vehicle to be 6 m and a
    design speed of 65 km/h. (1.01 m)

    3. For the data in the table below, compute the Time Mean Speed (TMS) and the
    Space Mean Speed (SMS). [TMS = 15.18 m/s, SMS = 15.13 m/s]

    Vehicle No. Distance (m) Travel Time (s)

    1 300 18.0

    2 300 20.0

    3 300 22.0

    4 300 19.0

    5 300 20.0

    6 300 20.0

    4. The following travel times were measured for vehicles traversing a 1,000‐m
    segment of an arterial. Determine the time mean speed (TMS) and space mean
    speed (SMS) for these vehicles.

    5. The results of a speed study is given in the form of a frequency distribution


    table. Find the time mean speed and space mean speed. [11.83 m/s; 9.44 m/s]
    speed range frequency
    2-5 1
    6-9 4
    10-13 0
    14-17 7

    6. For the data given below, compute the tms and sms. Verify the relationship
    between them.

    speed range (viL - v iU) frequency (q i)

    0-10 6
    10-20 16
    20-30 24
    30-40 25
    40-50 17

    7. The spot speeds are 50, 40, 60, 54 and 45 km/h, find the time mean speed and
    space mean speed.

    8. The speeds of five vehicles were measured (with radar) at the mid-point of a 0.8-
    km section of a highway. The speeds for vehicle 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were 70.8, 67.6, 82.1,
    78.8 and 74 km/h respectively. Assuming all vehicles were traveling at constant
    speed over this roadway section, calculate the TMS and SMS. (74.66 km/h, 74.29
    km/h)

    9. The table below shows the data collected on a highway during a speed study.
    Develop the frequency histogram and the frequency distribution of the data and
    determine:

    (i) The arithmetic mean speed (49.5 km/h)

    (ii) The standard deviation (6.5 km/h)

    (iii) The median speed (49 km/h)

    (iv) The mode or modal speed (49 km/h)

    (v) The 85th-percentile speed (54 km/h)
