A data set of traffic stream characteristics, such as space mean speed (u: miles per hour), density (k: vehicles per mile) and traffic flow rate (q: vehicles per hour), was collected for a freeway lane. The data reveals a relationship between flow rate (q) and density (k) as calibrated below: q=66*(k-k^2/160) Where, q = flow rate of the lane (vehicles per hour); k = density of the lane (vehicles per mile). Answer the following questions: (1)Determine the free-flow space mean...
